Most recently, a jury on Oct. 10 delivered a verdict of $445.5 million to Collision Communications Inc. after finding that Samsung infringed four patents related to wireless communication interference reduction used in its mobile devices. The plaintiffs’ legal team was led by Brad Caldwell, Chris Stewart, Justin Nemunaitis, Aisha Haley, and other attorneys at Caldwell Cassady & Curry.

On Sept. 29, a separate jury awarded $78.5 million to Anonymous Media Research Holdings Inc. after finding Samsung infringed on two patents covering technology used to measure media consumption in its televisions. Attorneys including Jason McManis and Weining Bai at Houston-based Ahmad, Zavitsanos & Mensing (AZA), as well as Warren McCarty of The McCarty Firm served as lead counsel.
