Lawyers at Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan keep hitting a brick wall in their efforts to undo—or at least reduce—a whopping $1.17 billion damages verdict against their client Marvell Technology Group in a patent battle with Carnegie Mellon University.
The wall in this case is U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer in Pittsburgh, who refused on Tuesday to cut $620 million from the award. The decision comes after Fischer denied Marvell’s request to declare a mistrial in August and declined to grant a new trial in September.
