Marshall Jury Returns Infringement Verdict Against All Parties

By Michael Smith

I'll post more details later, but I just learned that the Marshall jury in Judge Davis' Mass v. Ergotron case returned infringement verdicts for both sides yesterday.  Plaintiff asked the jury for $64 million and got $1.5 million from the manufacturer and $500,000 from the resellers, and one of the defendant resellers asked for and got $120,000 on their countersuit patent, so it appears to be a net for the plaintiff of $1.88 million (not the $320k I earlier indicated).
