An Eastern District of Texas jury has returned a verdict for Mojo Mobility, Inc. in a case filed against Samsung back in October 2022 over a set of wireless charging patents. The jury found all eight claims (from five patents) infringed, willfully, and not proven invalid (as obvious), awarding a lump sum payment of just over $192M. The additional, equitable defense of prosecution laches remains available to Samsung; this summer, Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap adopted a report and recommendation denying to Mojo Mobility partial summary judgment on the issue because genuine disputes of material fact exist both as to whether alleged delays in prosecution of the asserted patents were reasonable and as to whether those delays prejudiced Samsung, by in the meantime “investing in, working on, or using the accused technology” in connection with, for example, the Galaxy S6.
