Last year was packed with big wins for McKool Smith’s intellectual property litigators. 

Following a federal district judge’s ruling that overturned a $75 million patent damages award that McKool Smith secured for client Ericsson against TCL Communication in December 2017, the court made the rare move of granting a motion to reconsider that the firm filed on behalf of Ericsson. In May 2018, Judge Roy Payne of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas added $25 million in enhanced damages due to TCL’s willful infringement and awarded Ericsson more than $10 million in prejudgment interest, resulting in a final judgment for more than $110 million in damages.
