SIMO Holdings Versus uCloudlink’s Patent Litigation

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2019 / K&L Gates LLP obtained a judgment in favor of SIMO Holdings, Inc., in a patent infringement action against competitor uCloudlink Network Technology Ltd. and UCloudlink (America) Ltd. following a jury verdict of willful infringement and patent validity.

K&L Gates filed the case on behalf of SIMO in June 2018, alleging patent infringement by its main competitor, uCloudlink. SIMO claimed that uCloudlink's GlocalMe G2, U2, G3 hot spots, and S1 mobile phone copied SIMO's proprietary technology and infringed SIMO's U.S. Patent No. 9,836,689, and on this basis sought monetary damages and a permanent injunction.

At trial, in April 2019, SIMO obtained a jury verdict that the ‘689 Patent was valid and awarding SIMO $2,183,562.40 for uCloudlink's infringement. The jury also found that uCloudlink's infringement was willful, entitling SIMO to the prospect of enhanced damages.
