Sprint (S, $6.32) Wins $140 Million Jury Verdict Against Time Warner Cable (CHTR, $330.33)
An appeals court decision upheld a $140 million jury verdict in favor of Sprint Corp. in a patent-infringement case against Time Warner Cable Inc.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said there is adequate evidence that suggests that Time Warner (now owned by Charter Communications Inc) infringed five Sprint patents concerning Voice over Internet Protocol services. In 2011, Sprint filed the lawsuit against Time Warner Cable and other cable television companies, alleging that they used, without permission, Sprint inventions related to packet-switched networks for transmitting phone calls over digital lines. Comcast Corp. agreed to pay $250 million to Sprint as settlement in 2017 .
