VERSATA WINS SAP JUDGMENT

Versata, which has put together an odd array of software companies, has received a $391 million court judgment from its patent infringement suit against SAP. The judgment was signed on September 9 by Judge Charles Everingham IV of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. Versata won a $138.6 million judgment against SAP in a jury trial in August 2009, but that verdict was set aside and a second trial was held in May 2011. The second judgment includes $260 million awarded for lost profits and $85 million in reasonable royalties based on a finding that SAP infringed on a Versata patent related to pricing technology. The jury also found that SAP products that were redesigned in May 2010 continued to infringe on the same patent. The judgment includes more than $63 million in prejudgment interest. SAP had previously said it would appeal the judgment.
