A Delaware federal jury said Comcast is on the hook for about $27.6 million after finding that the company infringed on patents tied to fiber optic data delivery, Law360 reported Friday.
Noting that Sprint had sought $28 million, Law360 said the jury made the decision following less than a full day of deliberation in the one-week trial, which centered on two patents. Sprint argued that Comcast was saving millions through its alleged infringements.
Comcast vowed to continue the fight.
“We are disappointed with today’s decision and believe the evidence shows Comcast does not infringe Sprint’s patents,” a Comcast spokesman said in an emailed statement “We do plan to pursue post-trial motions and want to thank the jury for their time and thoughtful consideration.”
Comcast was on the other side of a different case last October, when a the U.S. District Court, District of Delaware ordered Sprint to pay Comcast $7.5 million after finding Sprint was infringing on telecom-related patents. In that case, Comcast had asked for $16.5 million, according to Bloomberg.
