United States Federal Circuit

Judgment for plaintiff in patent infringement suit based on two jury verdicts finding that defendant directly and indirectly infringed specified claims of plaintiff's '395 patent related to a mobile communication protocol, the specified claims of plaintiff's '395 patent are not invalid, and defendant was liable for damages, is: 1) vacated in part and remanded, where the district court gave the jury a legally erroneous instruction with respect to indirect infringement, and defendant's evidence of a good-faith belief of invalidity may negate the requisite intent for induced infringement; but 2) affirmed in part, where the district court did not err in granting a partial new trial.
