Last week, an Eastern District of Texas jury returned a verdict awarding Finesse Wireless, LLC just over $166.3M in damages for the infringement of ten claims from two patents, none of which was proven invalid. Finesse Wireless sued AT&T (AT&T Mobility), as well as Verizon (Verizon Wireless), back in 2021, alleging infringement of certain base stations within their respective cell networks. Ericsson and Nokia separately intervened, as component manufacturers. By the time of trial, agreements had ended litigation against Ericsson and Verizon Wireless, leaving AT&T Mobility and Nokia to face the jury, with District Judge Rodney Gilstrap presiding.
