A Texas judge has canceled Tuesday, the approximately $ 625 million (437 million euros) in damages imposed on computer group Apple in a patent infringement case related to a document management system and a system display. Judge Leonard Davis of the federal court in Tyler, Texas, has not validated the decision of jurors in a case brought by Apple against the company Mirror Worlds in March 2008.
Mirror Worlds estimated that Macintosh computers running the Mac OS operating system, infringed patents held by that company created by a professor at Yale University. In October a jury found Apple had raped three Patent granted 208,500,000 dollars (146,000,000 euros) compensations each patent.
LACK OF EVIDENCE The federal judge who has the final word on the jury's decision, however, ruled in a 44-page document these remedies, which have been among the largest ever granted in the United States. "There is not enough evidence to support compensation of $ 208.5 million awarded by the jury," said the judge.
"In this case, Mirror Worlds attempted to seduce the jury, but failed to lay foundations strong enough to support important elements that should be established before the law," added the judge. Both companies declined to comment this ruling.
