A U.S. federal jury has ordered Samsung Electronics to pay $445.5 million in damages after finding that the South Korean company infringed multiple wireless network technology patents held by an American firm, according to foreign media reports Saturday.
According to the reports from Reuters and other outlets, the federal jury in Marshall, Texas, ruled Friday (U.S. time) that Samsung violated four patents owned by Collision Communications, a New Hampshire-based company specializing in wireless network efficiency technologies.
The jury determined that Samsung's products, including its Galaxy smartphones and notebook computers with wireless functions, infringed the patents in question.
Collision Communications filed the lawsuit against Samsung in 2023, claiming infringement of its proprietary technology.
