Consumer electronics manufacturer Maxell Ltd. has scored a $43 million patent infringement verdict against smartphone maker ZTE Corp. in the Eastern District of Texas.

A jury in Judge Robert Schroeder III’s Texarkana courtroom found June 29 that ZTE willfully infringed all asserted claims of seven Maxell patents, which means ZTE could potentially be on the hook for treble damages. The patents cover camera functionality, audio processing, power management and navigation, at least some of which are used in 105 accused ZTE products.
