Google Inc. and four other companies have been ordered to pay $17.3 million in supplemental damages and interest to a subsidiary of the patent licensing company Vringo Inc.
The award, announced Friday, comes on top of a major jury verdict that Vringo and its lawyers at Dickstein Shapiro won against the companies in November 2012. A federal jury in Norfolk, Va., found then that Google and four co-defendants—AOL Inc., IAC/InterActiveCorp, Target Corp. and Gannett Co Inc.—infringed Vringo’s patents for a process of generating ads based on Internet search terms. It awarded the company $30 million in damages for past infringement and determined that the defendants should pay a royalty to Vringo for future infringement until its patents expire in 2016.
