Apple triumphs as $300 million patent verdict overturned
Apple just scored a win in its long-running patent battle with Optis Wireless.
A US appeals court threw out a $300 million damages award against Apple, saying the jury instructions weren't fair.
Now, the case heads back to Texas for another round.
The whole thing started when Optis claimed Apple's iPhones used their LTE tech without proper licenses.

Decision could give Apple an edge in similar fights
This decision could give Apple an edge in similar fights—especially one in the UK where it was told to pay over $500 million to Optis.
Even though no patents were thrown out, the court said each claim should've been considered separately.
For anyone interested in how huge tech companies handle legal setbacks (and bounce back), this is one to watch.
