TecSec, Incorporated v. International Business Machines Corporation et al Doc. 1373 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Alexandria Division TecSec,Incorporated, Plaintiff, Civil Action No. l:10-cv-115 Hon. Liam O'Grady V. Adobe Inc., et ah. Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Adobe Inc.'s Omnibus Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law (Dkt. 1336). The Court heard oral argument and denied the motion during trial for the reasons stated from the bench and for good cause shown, and issued an Order to that effect. This Memorandum Opinion follows to more fully explain the Court's reasoning for denying the Motion from the bench. 1. Induced Infringement of the Asserted Method Claims. Thejury heard evidence at trial that Mr. Landwehr authored a blog post for Adobe explaining how to use Adobe Acrobat for multilevel encryption. That blog post was uploaded to Adobe's website in 2009 and remained accessible during the relevant damages period. There was also sufficient evidence presented at trial for a reasonable jur>' to infer that at least one of Adobe's customers, Mr. Johnson, viewed the blog and used Adobe Acrobat to perform the asserted method claims during the damages period. As a result, there was enough circumstantial evidence that Adobe induced infringement of the asserted method claims for that issue to reach the jury. Dockets.Justia.com
