A Colorado federal judge on August 12 ordered computer system maker Biax Corp. to pay nearly $2 million in Sony Corp. and Nvidia Corp.'s legal fees on the ground that Biax acted in bad faith by prolonging a patent case against them.
U.S. District Judge Philip Brimmer ordered Biax to pay fees covering its opponents' work from June 23, 2011, when Biax's expert conceded that the accused devices didn't infringe all of the patent claims, to March 26, 2012, when the court entered summary judgment to Sony and Nvidia. Brimmer awarded Nvidia nearly $1.3 million in legal fees plus nearly $29,000 in costs. He granted Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. and Sony Electronics Inc. about $689,000 in attorney fees and $11,000 in costs.
