Other Events
On March 6, 2017, the
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit unanimously affirmed the $30 million patent infringement verdict in favor of Prism Technologies LLC ("Prism LLC") against Sprint Spectrum LP d/b/a Sprint PCS ("Sprint"). Prism LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Prism Technologies Group, Inc.
In June 2015, a jury in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska found that the accused Sprint network systems and methods infringe multiple claims of
Prism's U.S. Patent Nos. 8,387,155 and 8,127,345. Prism was awarded trial damages of $30 million representing a reasonable royalty for Sprint's infringement. Prism was also awarded $2 million in prejudgment interest and will be entitled to post-judgment interest in an amount to be determined.
