Samsung can't throw out a jury's $5.9 million infringement verdict over claims its tablets and smartphones infringe a German company's patent on data transfers, a Texas federal judge ruled, saying there's substantial evidence to support the jury's finding and that courts should be "especially deferential" to a jury's verdict.

The final approval on the deal comes years after dentists first launched a series of litigation accusing three dominant distributors of artificially inflating prices.

An Eastern District of Texas jury has slapped Samsung with a $5.9 million verdict, finding it infringed two claims of German intellectual property licensing company Papst’s patent covering data transfers that occur in smartphones and tablets.

DiNovo Price LLP attorneys Christopher Goodpastor, Nicole Glauser, and Gabriel Gervey appeared on behalf of Lonny Gold and Glen Reder, proposed lead Plaintiffs for a putative class of consumer vehicle purchasers and lessees in In re German Automotive Manufacturers Antitrust Litigation, pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.

In In re Dental Supplies Antitrust Litigation, Putative Class Plaintiff dental practices and dental labs defeated the respective motions to dismiss of defendants Henry Schein, Patterson Dental and Benco.

DiNovo Price LLP filed a proposed antitrust class action on behalf of dental practices and laboratories alleging that the three largest U.S. distributors of dental supplies and equipment fixed price margins, pressured manufacturers to boycott competitors, and agreed not to poach each other’s employees.
