An Eastern District of Texas jury has returned a verdict for Force MOS Technology and against ASUSTek Computer. Per the verdict, Force MOS prevailed on inventorship and invalidity questions as to one of the two patents tried, both of which the jury found infringed, willfully, to the tune of $10.5M, characterized as the “sum of money, if paid now in cash” to “compensate [Force MOS] for its damages as to any infringement found”. This result follows Chief Judge Rodney Gilstrap precluding Force MOS from using an alter ego theory of infringement to combat ASUSTek’s late-breaking argument that Force MOS had sued the wrong party.
