On August 14, 2024, Central District of California Judge James V. Selna entered judgment in favor of MR Technologies, GmbH and against Western Digital based on a jury verdict for infringement of two MR Technologies patents. The jury awarded the plaintiff more than $262M in damages for that infringement, the court adding in prejudgment interest of around $117M. To punctuate this trial win, MR Technologies has filed another case against Western Digital (8:24-cv-01848) in the same district, asserting the most recent patent to issue in the same family as those just tried to a jury.
