Unwired Planet Inc. rose as much as 20 percent after winning the first in a series of London patent trials against Samsung Electronics Co. and Huawei Technologies Co. over technology used in mobile phones.
Judge Colin Birss said the patents were “essential” to 4G telecommunications networks in a written decision handed down today. Google Inc. was also sued by Los Altos, California-based Unwired Planet, but that case settled before trial, Birss said.
