Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg recently clinched a $525 million patent infringement verdict in favor of small tech firm, Kove IO, against Amazon Web Services. The case was held in the Northern District of Illinois, marking a significant instance of a small tech company triumphing over a global tech titan in the realm of patent infringement.
Despite the significant financial capability of Amazon, the plaintiff’s counsel, Courtland Reichman, shared that trying cases against such entities can be a monumental task. Reichman’s team put in more than 30,000 hours into the suit, facing the substantial resources of a company like Amazon.
While Amazon’s counsel chose not to comment on the record, a spokesperson for the company informed CBS News of their decision to appeal the ruling.
