Delaware Jury Awards $110M in First Trial in TOT Power Control Campaign

A Delaware jury has returned a verdict in TOT Power Control, S.L.’s favor, awarding a running royalty of just over $110M (calculated at $0.25 per unit) against Apple for the infringement of two claims from a single cellular communications patent. Back in 2021, TOT Power Control sued what became a trio of wireless providers—AT&T (AT&T Mobility), Deutsche Telekom (Sprint, T-Mobile), and Verizon (Verizon Wireless), that February in the Western District of Texas; and what was a trio of device manufacturers—Apple, LG Electronics (LGE), and Samsung—that September in the District of Delaware. The case against Apple is the first to make it to trial.
