U.S. jury orders Samsung Electronics to pay $445 million in wireless patent case

A U.S. jury in the Eastern District of Texas ordered Samsung Electronics to pay $445.5 million for infringing four wireless network patents owned by Collision Communications Inc., a New Hampshire company. The 2023 lawsuit alleged Samsung Galaxy smartphones and notebooks violated patents originating from research with BAE Systems. Samsung can appeal the verdict, potentially changing the final infringement determination and damages award.
