A U.S. appeals court has vacated a $300 million jury award that found Apple Inc. infringed wireless standard-essential patents held by Optis Wireless Technology. The decision erases the damages Apple had been ordered to pay and sends the dispute back for a new trial. The litigation centers on LTE patents that Optis claims are critical to industry standards and were used without authorization in Apple’s iPhones. Apple has long contested both liability and the size of the damages, arguing that Optis demanded excessive royalties. By overturning the verdict, the appeals court gives Apple another opportunity to contest infringement and damages, prolonging a legal battle that has run through multiple trials and appeals in recent years.
