Dechert Win in Damages Retrial Resurrects 2019 Trial Victory for Hitachi Maxell and Mondis Against LG
February 14, 2023
On February 7, a New Jersey federal jury returned a verdict ordering LG Electronics Inc. and LG Electronics USA Inc. to pay US$14.3 million to London-based Mondis Technology Ltd. and Japan-based Maxell Holdings Ltd. and Maxell Ltd., for infringement of a television display technology patent.
At an April 2019 trial, a jury found the patent valid and willfully infringed and awarded US$45 million. In post-trial motions, the court affirmed the validity and willful infringement findings, but deferred ruling on plaintiffs’ request for enhanced damages and fees until after a damages retrial. That trial has now concluded, and the court has ordered briefing on plaintiffs' claims for enhanced damages, fees and prejudgment interest.
Dechert’s litigation team included Martin Black, Jeffrey Plies, Jeffrey Edwards and Brian Goldberg.
