$45M Web IP Verdict Against Limelight Reinstated by Fed. Circ.

On August 13, 2015, the Federal Circuit decided en banc in favor of Finnegan client Akamai, ruling that Limelight Networks infringed Akamai’s web content delivery patent. The court reinstated a $45.5 million jury verdict against Limelight.

The case was on remand from the U.S. Supreme Court and the decision vacated a split panel decision by the Federal Circuit in May, which found that Limelight did not infringe Akamai’s patent.
