West Texas Jury Awards Modest Damages in Hierarchical Menu Navigation Campaign

June 26, 2022

Western District of Texas Judge Alan D. Albright has entered judgment based on a jury verdict in favor of plaintiffs Caddo Systems, Inc., as patent owner, and exclusive licensee 511 Technologies, Inc. As widely reported, the damages ask at the trial’s outset was in the $30M neighborhood, but while the jury found all 17 tried claims (from six patents) infringed, the lump sum award against Microchip Technology came to just $235K in the end. A trio of May cases, filed in three other districts against LightInTheBox, Progress Software, and Texas Instruments, remain active in the campaign, as does a June suit against Jetbrains as well as an appeal from a dismissal of a suit against Siemens for lack of personal jurisdiction in the Northern District of Illinois (2022-1623).
