Patent Litigation Feature, TPLF
Last week, in long-running litigation, a Central District of California jury returned a verdict in favor of funded plaintiff SPEX Technologies, Inc., finding that Western Digital infringed a single claim from one patent generally related to securing a peripheral computing device. The jury apportioned damages for the provision of two accused products, roughly $194M for My Book and roughly $122M for Ultrastar He10.
