Benzinga - Netlist Inc (OTCQB: NLST) shares are trading higher Monday. The company announced that it won a $303 million patent infringement trial against Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd (Pink: SSNLF).
What Happened: Netlist was awarded $303 million in damages by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The jury trial focused on five Netlist patents lasted six days and ultimately found that several Samsung products infringed on the patents.
