Annotate this CaseIn 2009, a jury found Akamai’s 703 patent not invalid and directly infringed by Limelight, but the court entered judgment as a matter of law overturning the infringement verdict on the basis of divided infringement. After several rounds of appeals and remands, culminating with the en Federal Circuit’s reversal of the district court’s JMOL determination on the divided infringement issue, the Federal Circuit concluded that the district court did not err in its claim constructions of the terms “tagging” and “optimal” and appropriately instructed the jury and did not err in allowing Akamai to present a theory by its lost profits expert. The court ordered reinstatement of the jury’s original verdict and damages award.
