Patent/copyright infringement
lawsuits/licensing awards

Center for Global Innovation/Patent Metrics
June 2015

Note: the table has not been updated in about ten years. It is on our list of things to do.

What follows is a table listing the monetary awards that companies have received because they were either victorious in an IP infringement lawsuit, or they negotiated deal in the absense/presence of a infringement lawsuit, or related technology litigation such as antitrust. The following monetary awards are culled from media reports of such victories/successes, and may have been reversed/reduced in later appeals, though we are constantly updating our records to include more awards, and more history on each award.

(Note: 'P.' prefix stands for patents, 'C.' prefix stands for copyrights). Dollar amounts in parentheses indicate the original judgment was reversed.
