"Apple Inc. is challenging a jury verdict last week in which the computer maker was ordered to pay as much as $625.5 million to Mirror Worlds LLC for infringing patents related to how documents are displayed digitally," Susan Decker reports for Bloomberg.
"Apple asked U.S. District Judge Leonard Davis for an emergency stay of the Oct. 1 verdict, saying there are outstanding issues on two of the three patents. Apple said patent owner Mirror Worlds would also be 'triple dipping' if it were able to collect $208.5 million on each of the patents," Decker reports. "Closely held Mirror Worlds, founded by Yale University computer-science Professor David Gelernter, sued in 2008, claiming Apple’s iPod music device, iPhone and Mac computers infringed three patents for a way documents are displayed on a computer screen."
Decker reports, "Davis also is considering Apple’s request, filed before the verdict, to rule the company doesn’t infringe two of the patents.

Apple Inc., 08cv88, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Tyler)."
