Jury verdict in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California finding that Chunghwa Picture Tubes and other defendants infringed patents held by LG.Philips LCD.
On November 21, 2006, the jury in a trial brought by LG.Philips LCD in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California (in Los Angeles) found that defendants, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, Ltd. (“CPT”) of Taiwan, Tatung Co., and Tatung of America, willfully infringed two patents, U.S. Patent 5,825,449 and 4,624,737, owned by LG.Philips LCD, and awarded LG.Philips LCD US$53.5 million in damages. The jury said CPT should pay US$50 million, Tatung Co. should pay US$3 million and Tatung of America should pay US$0.5 million to LG.Philips LCD.
