The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to use a case stemming from a $64 million award against Cisco Systems Inc. to consider making it easier to win some types of patent lawsuits.
The justices today said they will hear an appeal from Commil USA LLC, which is accusing Cisco of infringing a patent that covers wireless-transmission technology. Commil won a jury verdict against Cisco in an earlier round in the litigation.
