Prof. Jorge Contreras Files Amicus Brief in Texas Remedies Case

Visiting Professor Jorge Contreras today filed a Brief of Amicus Curiae with the Texas Sixth Court of Appeals in Samsung v. KPN (No. 06-24-00059-CV). The brief argues that the jury in this state breach of contract case was improperly instructed to, and did, award damages for patent infringement, a matter reserved exclusively to the Federal courts. As a result, the jury's $300 million verdict should be set aside and a new trial ordered.
