WACO, Texas, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A West Texas jury has awarded a $22.4 million patent infringement verdict in favor of California-based SVV Technology Innovations Inc. against Taiwan’s ASUSTek Computer Inc. This marks the second multimillion-dollar verdict won by attorneys from Dallas’ Caldwell Cassady & Curry on behalf of SVV this year.
The September 26 verdict followed four days of trial in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in Waco. In addition to the damages award, the jurors found that ASUSTek’s infringement of all claims of the four SVV patents was willful.

The seven-member jury delivered the verdict after roughly six hours of deliberations. The case is SVV Technology Innovations Inc. v. ASUSTek Computer Inc., No. 6:22-cv-00311.
