Federal Circuit Affirms Jury’s Non-Infringement Verdict for Sony

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) on Friday, February 2, affirmed a district court judgment denying patent owner Infernal Technology’s motion for a new trial regarding a jury verdict that found Sony did not infringe Infernal’s computer graphics patent. Sony conditionally cross-appealed the district court’s finding that the patent was not ineligible under Section 101, but the cross-appeal was withdrawn since the CAFC affirmed.
