This is the end of a long-term legal confrontation. In August 2020, PanOptis filed a lawsuit against Apple for 4G LTE patent infringement. This technology has been used on the company's flagship products such as iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches.
The Cupertino company was first ordered to pay it $506.2 million. Except that a federal judge agreed to a new trial due to “serious doubts” about the verdict.
Apple is regularly sued for patent violations
Ultimately, the sum was then reduced to $300 million and Apple continued to protest and requested a third judgment. Ultimately, this new request was rejected, reports the Reuters news agency.
Thus, if successful, the apple brand could indeed have reduced the damages to zero but the judge in charge of the case, Rodney Gilstrap, of the US Eastern District of Texas, decided otherwise.
For a very large company like Apple, lawsuits are part of daily life. For example, we recently told you about this lawsuit filed for patent infringement in the United States Court for the Western District of Texas. It was initiated by a descendant of the Bell telecoms company.
This initiative concerns around ten patents and concerns in particular the iPhone, the iPad, and wireless products from Apple. If you want to delve deeper into the subject, you can reread our dedicated articleici.
