Rhode Island patent jury ?lacked a grasp of the issues before it"; Microsoft gets win in Uniloc case

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

Bloomberg notes that U.S. District Judge William Smith in Providence, Rhode Island, on Sept. 29 vacated an April 2009 jury verdict of patent infringement of a Uniloc patent by Microsoft.

In his order, Judge Smith wrote that the jury ?lacked a grasp of the issues before it and reached a finding without a legally sufficient basis.?
