“A jury trial commenced in this case on April 21, 2025. On April 25, 2025, the jury returned a unanimous verdict (Dkt. No. 426) finding that Defendants Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (together, “Samsung”) infringed Claims 1, 7, and 19 of U.S. Patent No. 8,406,733 (the “’733 Patent”) and Claims 1, 12, and 16 of U.S. Patent No. 9,198,117 (the “’117 Patent”) asserted by Plaintiff Headwater Research LLC (“Headwater”); that Claims 1, 7, and 19 of the ’733 Patent and Claims 1, 12, and 16 of the ’117 Patent were not invalid; and that Headwater should recover a lump sum reasonable royalty of $278,791,460.00 for Samsung’s infringement.1 In Samsung’s notices concerning its invalidity and equitable defenses (Dkt. Nos. 190; 394; 417; 439), Samsung has stipulated that none of its previously raised invalidity and equitable defenses remain live as a post-trial issue for the Court to decide. In light of these stipulations and 1 The Court notes for clarity in the record that Headwater stipulated prior to trial that it had withdrawn its allegations of pre-suit and post-suit willfulness. (See Joint Notice and Stipulation Regarding Case Narrowing, Dkt. No. 190 at 1 (“Headwater withdraws… Pre-suit Willful Infringement.”); Pretrial Hearing Transcript, Dkt. No. 359 at 39:21-25 (“Headwater stipulates that it is no longer alleging any post-suit willfulness in this litigation. We already dropped pre-suit willfulness, and so now willfulness, which is our allegation, should be out of the case.”).) Consequently, the Court issued its pretrial Order denying as moot Samsung’s Motion for Summary Judgment of No Post-Suit Willfulness. (Dkt. No. 363 at 1.)
