Finnegan Client Telcordia Technologies to Recover Over $6.5 Million from Cisco Systems
WASHINGTON, DC - On July 6, 2010, in a case Finnegan handled from inception through appeal, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a damages award of $6.5 million in favor of firm client Telcordia Technologies against Cisco Systems. At trial (in the District of Delaware), the jury had found for Telcordia on all claims, concluding that Cisco willfully infringed two Telcordia patents. On appeal, the Federal Circuit rejected Cisco’s challenge to the validity of one of Telcordia’s patents, and it affirmed the district court’s damages decisions —specifically, that in addition to the $6.5 million awarded by the jury, Telcordia was also entitled to recover both prejudgment interest and an ongoing royalty.
