Samsung Owes $112M To Maxell In Patent Fight, Jury Says
By Adam Lidgett · Listen to article
Law360 (May 28, 2025, 8:22 PM EDT) -- A federal jury in Texas said Wednesday that Samsung owes about $111.7 million after finding it infringed a series of patents covering functions in personal electronic devices owned by Maxell Ltd.
Jurors returned a verdict form in favor of Maxell on three smart device patents, finding that the company showed it was entitled to the $111.7 million, based on a running royalty through trial instead of as a lump sum. The jury said Maxell showed that Samsung infringed the patents and that the infringement was willful.
The jury also found that Samsung couldn't prove claims in two of the patents were invalid.
…
The three patents related to ways to unlock devices like smartphones, more easily find recordings on a device, and manage digital data, according to the suit.
…
Last month, Maxell filed another suit against Samsung alleging it infringed other patents relating to smart devices. The patents in that suit cover, among other things, "home networking technology" that includes everything from smartphones, tablets, laptops, watches, refrigerators, washers and dryers, ovens, and vacuums.
…
The patents-in-suit are U.S. Patent Nos. 8,982,086; 10,176,848; and 11,017,815.
