United States Federal Circuit
Finjan, Inc. v. Secure Computing Corp., 09-1576
In a patent infringement suit involving "proactive scanning" technology for computer security, a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff and district court's award of damages and an entry of permanent injunction against the defendants is affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded where: 1) district court's denial of defendants' motion for JMOL or new trial on infringement of plaintiff's system and storage medium claims is affirmed as the jury's infringement verdict on the system and media claims was based on a legally sufficient evidentiary basis and consistent with the weight of the evidence; 2) district court's denial of defendants' motions for JMOL of noninfringement of the method claims is reversed as no reasonable jury could have concluded that defendants infringed the method claims; 3) district court's denial of defendants' motions for JMOL or new trial on damages is affirmed; and 4) the matter is remanded for the district court to assess post-judgment and pre-judgment damages.
