Cisco Seeks Judicial Reversal of $65.7 Million Patent Verdict in Texas Trial

Cisco Systems Inc. is challenging a Texas jury’s verdict that found the company liable for infringing on a patent related to conference call technology. The verdict resulted in a $65.7 million damages award, which Cisco argues is “excessive.” The company has taken the matter to U.S. District Judge Alan Albright, seeking to have the verdict overturned or to secure a new trial, citing “immense” prejudice it claims to have suffered during the trial process.
