Minnesota Judge Denies CellTrust’s Bid for New Trial in Patent Infringement Suit

In recent legal developments, a Minnesota federal judge has ruled against CellTrust Corp., a mobile data-tracking firm, in their effort to gain a favorable judgment or push for a fresh trial. CellTrust Corp. had previously been contending in court that the jury was misdirected, leading them to the erroneous conclusion that the company’s patents had not been violated.

Judge for the District of Minnesota, overseeing the case, deemed the jury’s instructions to be without fault, thus effectively invalidating the company’s claims of patent infringement. Furthermore, the ruling passed on Wednesday also negated other ancillary disputes raised by both parties in this litigation.

Despite CellTrust Corp.’s robust arguments that the jury was fundamentally misdirected, the court asserted the opposite, verily implying that the jury did not err in their judgment. Consequently, the notion that CellTrust Corp.’s patents were, in fact, not infringed upon, stands undisputed.
