The U.S. Court of Appeals has overturned a $300 million verdict against Apple in a long-standing patent infringement case involving Optis Wireless Technology, ordering a new trial. This ruling allows Apple to avoid paying the initially imposed damages related to the use of Optis' wireless patents. Separately, Apple was ordered by a federal court in Delaware to pay $110 million in damages to the Spanish company TOT for infringing on one of its wireless technology patents. These developments highlight ongoing legal challenges Apple faces in disputes over wireless technology patents. The Federal Circuit's decision to vacate the $300 million verdict and mandate a third trial underscores the complex and evolving nature of patent litigation in the technology sector.
