Cisco Systems Inc. won an appeals court ruling that throws out a $63.8 million patent-infringement verdict and gives it a new chance to argue it didn’t infringe a Texas company’s patent for wireless-transmission technology.
The trial judge in the case gave jurors erroneous instructions on the legal standard for infringement of Commil USA LLC’s patent, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said in an opinion posted on its website today.
