2. Over the past two decades,
technology has advanced at an
unprecedented pace, leading to a
significant increase in the number
of patents filed each year. As the
number of patents has grown, so
has the number of patent disputes
and lawsuits. In this presentation,
we will discuss the Top 10 patent
infringements since 2000.

3. Apple vs. Samsung
In 2011, Apple filed a lawsuit against Samsung, claiming that Samsung had
infringed on several of its patents related to the design of the iPhone and
iPad. Samsung, in turn, countersued Apple, alleging that Apple had
infringed on some of its patents related to wireless technology. The lawsuit
was one of the largest patent disputes in history, with Apple ultimately
winning a $1.05 billion judgment against Samsung. However, the decision
was later appealed and reduced to $548 million.

4. In 2006 when NTP, a Virginia-based holding company, filed a lawsuit
against BlackBerry, then known as Research In Motion (RIM), the Canadian
company behind the popular BlackBerry smartphone. NTP claimed that
RIM's BlackBerry devices, which used wireless email technology, infringed
on patents held by NTP. The case dragged on for several years, however,
RIM eventually reached a settlement with NTP in 2006, agreeing to pay
$612.5 million to license NTP's patents.

5. In 2010, Oracle sued Google over the use of Java in the Android operating
system. Oracle claimed that Google had infringed on its copyrights and
patents related to Java. The case revolved around whether Google had
the right to use certain Java APIs in its Android platform without obtaining
a license from Oracle. The case went to trial in 2012, and a jury found that
Google had not infringed on Oracle's patents. In 2021, the US Supreme
Court ruled in favor of Google, stating that Google's use of the Java APIs
was covered under fair use, effectively ending the legal battle between
the two companies.

6. In 2009, Microsoft filed a lawsuit against TomTom, a Dutch navigation
company, claiming that TomTom had infringed on several of its patents
related to GPS technology. Microsoft offered TomTom a chance to license
the patents, but TomTom refused and instead filed a countersuit claiming
that Microsoft was infringing on four of its patents related to vehicle
navigation technology. The lawsuit was settled out of court, with both
entering into a five-year patent cross-licensing agreement and TomTom
agreeing to pay Microsoft an undisclosed amount of money. It is an
estimate that TomTom paid Microsoft $100 million.

7. In 2011, Intellectual Ventures (IV), a company that owns a large portfolio of
patents, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Motorola Mobility,
which was then a subsidiary of Google. IV accused Motorola Mobility of
infringing on six of its patents related to a variety of technologies,
including mobile phones, wireless communication, and software. The case
went to trial in 2014, and a jury found that Motorola Mobility had not
infringed on any of the patents asserted by IV. The jury also found that IV
had not proved that its patents were valid.

8. In 2009, Carnegie Mellon had sued Marvell over patents issued that
related to how accurately hard disk drive circuits read data from high-
speed magnetic disks. The university said at least nine Marvell circuit
devices incorporated the patents, which were issued in 2001 and 2002,
letting the company sell billions of chips without permission. A federal jury
in Pittsburgh had awarded Carnegie Mellon $1.17 billion in December 2012.
U.S. District Judge Nora Barry Fischer later boosted that sum to $1.54
billion, reflecting Marvell’s alleged willful infringement plus interest. The
case was later settled for $750 million, which, after legal fees and related
costs, were shared with the inventors.

9. In 2014, Philips filed a lawsuit against Nintendo, claiming that Nintendo's
Wii and Wii U consoles infringed on several of its patents related to
motion-sensing technology. Philips sought damages and an injunction
that would prevent Nintendo from selling the infringing products in the US.
Nintendo, for its part, denied the allegations and filed a countersuit
against Philips in Germany, accusing the Dutch company of infringing on
its own patents related to motion-controlled gaming. The settlement
between the two companies was not publicly disclosed, however, it was
reported that the settlement included a cross-licensing agreement
between Philips and Nintendo

iPhone violated ten of its patents related to wireless communication
technology. Apple responded with a countersuit, alleging that Nokia had
violated 13 of its patents related to user interface, camera, and power
management technologies. The legal battle continued for several years,
with both companies filing multiple lawsuits against each other in various
countries. In the end, the two companies settled their dispute in 2011, with
Apple agreeing to pay Nokia an undisclosed amount of money to license
its patents.

11. In 2009, the two companies became embroiled in a legal battle over
patents for genetically modified soybean seeds. Monsanto had developed
a type of soybean seed that was resistant to glyphosate, a popular
herbicide sold under the brand name Roundup. Monsanto had patented
this seed, as well as the technology used to create it. DuPont, meanwhile,
had developed its own glyphosate-resistant soybean seed, but had not
obtained a license from Monsanto. The case went to trial in 2009, and a
jury found that DuPont had indeed infringed on Monsanto's patents. The
jury awarded Monsanto $1 billion in damages, one of the largest patent
verdicts in history.

12. Edwards Lifesciences had developed a transcatheter aortic valve
replacement (TAVR) system called SAPIEN, which allowed for minimally
invasive heart valve replacement procedures. Medtronic developed its
own TAVR system called CoreValve. Edwards Lifesciences filed a lawsuit
against Medtronic, alleging that CoreValve did, in fact, infringe on its
patents. The legal battle went on for several years, with both companies
accusing the other of patent infringement. In the end, a jury found that
Medtronic had indeed infringed on Edwards Lifesciences' patents, and
awarded the company $393 million in damages. Medtronic appealed the
decision, but ultimately settled with Edwards Lifesciences for $1.2 billion.
