A federal judge in Tyler, Texas, today said Apple didn’t infringe a patent owned by Mirror Worlds LLC and closed the case in Apple’s favor. The court also said the damage award was too high. The judge did uphold the validity of the three Mirror Worlds patents.</p>
The jury had originally said that Apple was infringing on three patents and awarded damages of $208.5 million for each patent. Judge Davis agreed with Apple's argument and closed the case in Apple's favor.</span><br clear="all">
