Overview
- A federal jury in Marshall, Texas, found Samsung infringed two OLED display patents held by Ireland-based Pictiva Displays and set damages at $191.4 million.
- The case targeted a broad range of Samsung products, including Galaxy smartphones, wearables, TVs, computers, and other devices with OLED screens.
- Samsung denied infringement, said the patents are invalid, and confirmed it has already petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to review the patents.
- Pictiva said the verdict affirms the strength of its intellectual property, and reporting identifies the firm as a subsidiary of Key Patent Innovations.
- The ruling follows a recent separate jury award of about $445.5 million to Collision Communications, highlighting mounting patent litigation risk for Samsung in Texas.
