A US jury on Friday awarded OptisWireless Technology LLC and several related companies $300million in damages after a second patent trial against iPhonemaker Apple Inc.
A jury had previously found that Apple had infringed five Optis wireless standard essential patents and awarded $506 million in damages, but US District Judge Rodney Gilstrap in Marshall, Texas, vacated that award in April and ordered a new trial to determine the amount of damages.
