`
`IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
`TYLER DIVISION
`
`CHRIMAR SYSTEMS, INC., et al.,
`
`Plaintiffs,
`
`v.
`
`ALCATEL-LUCENT ENTERPRISE, USA, INC.,
`
`Defendant.
`
`6:15-CV-163-JDL
`
`FINAL JUDGMENT
`
`A jury trial regarding the claims of Plaintiffs Chrimar Systems, Inc. and Chrimar Holding
`
`Company (collectively, “Chrimar”) against Defendant ALE USA Inc. (“ALE”), and regarding
`
`ALE’s legal defenses and counterclaims, commenced on October 3, 2016. The jury returned its
`
`unanimous verdict on October 7, 2016. [ECF 349]. Based on the jury’s verdict, the entirety of the
`
`record available to the Court, and the Court’s rulings on the parties’ respective post-trial motions,
`
`the Court enters this Final Judgment fully and finally disposing of all claims by and between
`
`Chrimar and ALE.
`
`The Court ORDERS, ADJUDGES, DECREES, and DECLARES as follows:
`
` ALE stipulated that the accused PoE Products infringe the following claims, as
`
`construed by the Court, based on Chrimar’s PoE Standards compliance-based
`
`theory of infringement:
`o claims 31, 35, 43, and 60 (which depends from claim 59, across claims 31,
`
`35, and 43) of U.S. Patent Number 8,155,012 (“the ’012 Patent”);
`o claims 1, 5, 72, and 103 (across claims 1, 5, and 72) of U.S. Patent
`
`Number 8,942,107 (“the ’107 Patent”);

`Case 6:15-cv-00163-JDL Document 423 Filed 02/27/17 Page 2 of 5 PageID #: 18102
`
`o claims 1, 59, 69, 72 (across claims 1, 59, and 69), and 145 of U.S. Patent
`
`Number 8,902,760 (“the ’760 Patent”); and
`o claims 1, 7, and 26 of U.S. Patent Number 9,019,838 (“the ’838 Patent”).
`
` Consistent with the jury verdict, the following claims of the ’012 Patent, the ’107
`
`Patent, the ’760 Patent, and the ’838 Patent are not invalid, and they are
`
`enforceable:
`o claims 31, 35, 43, and 60 (which depends from claim 59, across claims 31,
`
`35, and 43) of the ’012 Patent;
`o claims 1, 5, 72, and 103 (across claims 1, 5, and 72) of the ’107 Patent;
`o claims 1, 59, 69, 72 (across claims 1, 59, and 69), and 145 the ’760 Patent;
`
`and
`o claims 1, 7, and 26 of the ’838 Patent.
`
` The Court awards actual damages to Chrimar for ALE’s infringement of the ’012
`
`Patent, the ’107 Patent, the ’760 Patent, and the ’838 Patent in the amount of
`
`$324,558.34 for damages as of September 30, 2016.
`
` Chrimar is further awarded pre-judgment interest on the actual damages found by
`
`the jury ($324.558.34), from the date of July 1, 2015 through the day before entry
`
`of this Final Judgment, calculated at the prime rate, compounded quarterly, in the
`
`amount of $18,918.98.
`
` Chrimar is awarded post-judgment interest on the actual damages, pre-judgment
`
`interest, and costs awarded herein, at the rate of 0.83%, compounded annually, as
`
`provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1961, from the date of entry of this Final Judgment
