Marvell Technology Group Ltd. convinced a federal appeals court to reverse most of a $1.54 billion damage award to Carnegie Mellon University in a closely watched patent case. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Tuesday affirmed that Marvell infringed the two patents at issue in the case, which cover technology related to computer disk drives. The court ruled that Marvell must pay the university at least $278.4 million, and ordered a new trial on issues that could increase that award.
