1. Case returns to district court
The Federal Circuit dismissed ParkerVision’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction and remanded the case to the Middle District of Florida, leaving the receiver-claim construction issue unresolved without reaching its merits. ParkerVision plans to pursue a jury trial on transmitter patent claims, seeking about $440 million in damages, and said it will preserve its right to appeal the receiver-claim construction after a final district court ruling in the transmitter case. The appeals court also denied ParkerVision’s request to reassign the case to a new district judge.
