Barnes & Noble Told to Pay $267,000 over E-Reader Infringement

2017/01/04

US-based book retailer Barnes & Noble (B&N) has been ordered to pay nearly $267,000 for patent infringement.
Adrea, based in the US, originally brought its suit against B&N at the US District Court for the Southern District of New York in June 2013.
B&N allegedly infringed the patents through its Nook e-reader products, which included the Nook HD+, Nook Simple Touch, Nook Tablet and Nook 1st Edition.
The Supreme Court reduced the standard for finding wilful infringement which, according to the latest suit, prompted Adrea to move for a new determination on wilfulness in its case with B&N.
On December 27, District Judge Jed Rakoff awarded Adrea $266,832 for B&N's non-wilful infringement.
