A German patent owner’s Delaware infringement suit against Sirius XM Radio Inc. is back on after the Federal Circuit revived it for a second time Monday. The three-judge appellate panel ruled a lower court’s grant of a pre-trial win to the satellite radio company was improper. Sirius had “not established through undisputed evidence that it relied on Fraunhofer’s misleading conduct,” Judge Alan D. Lourie wrote in a precedential opinion for the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

A federal judge doubled a jury’s patent infringement verdict to $5.34 million in favor of a Charleston, S.C., maker of minimalist window shades, citing evidence that engineers for Lutron Electronics Co. admitted to lying to access patent-pending technology. Judge Colleen McMahon of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York also awarded pre-judgment interest and rejected Lutron’s motion for a judgment as a matter of law that would have wiped out the verdict entirely.

As noted here, Samsung and Neonode reached a settlement. The Apple case is paused until the Samsung case is finalized which could be another 30 days. Neonode stock is up sharply on the news. https://t.co/ShUxygp5iH
@mwshapiro @mwshapiro Michael, today Neonode and Samsung settled this case. Looking forward to your reporting!
Judge Albright’s indefiniteness ruling in $NEON v Samsung is reversed, which means its WDTX suit is back on https://t.co/ER6UDQKYPU
However the ‘879 patent was separately invalidated by Judge Albright and that Neonode appeal is still pending. The lawsuit against Samsung lives or dies based on the coming decision
That’s right. The fed circuit has now affirmed the three PTAB decisions which collectively invalidated one $NEON patent and leaves alive the ‘879 patent
