The past two weeks have seen juries in two popular patent venues hand down infringement verdicts. On October 16, a Delaware jury found that smartphone maker HTC infringed two cellular networking patents asserted against it by 3G Licensing S.A. and awarded $9M in damages, just the latest chapter in a slimmed-down case that has survived a trip to the Federal Circuit and back. The week before, a jury in the Western District of Texas issued a $240M verdict for StreamScale, Inc. against Cloudera, finding that the company infringed three data protection patents held by the inventor-controlled plaintiff.
