Texas Jury Awards $191.4 Million to Pictiva in OLED Patent Case, Samsung Plans Appeal

Samsung is also challenging the patents at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Overview

  • A federal jury in Marshall, Texas found Samsung infringed two OLED patents owned by Pictiva Displays.
  • Jurors concluded the patented technology is used across Samsung smartphones, televisions, computers and wearables to boost resolution, brightness and power efficiency.
  • Samsung has denied liability and said it will appeal the verdict.
  • Pictiva, an Ireland-based unit of Key Patent Innovations, said the decision validates its intellectual property and noted its portfolio stems from OSRAM’s early 2000s OLED work.
  • The outcome continues a recent pattern of sizable patent awards against Samsung in the same Marshall court.
