While Carnegie Mellon University presented three competent experts on damages during the jury trial that granted it a billion-dollar verdict in its patent suit against Marvell Technology Group, two of the defense’s three expert witnesses slept, a Western District of Pennsylvania judge said in an opinion on post-trial motions.
U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer denied Marvell’s motion for a judgment as a matter of law on damages — it had argued that the $1.2 billion in damages that the jury had awarded last December was legally unsound and factually unsupported, according to Fischer’s opinion.
