Analysis · PRKR · Manufacturing
The Federal Circuit dismissed ParkerVision's expedited appeal for lack of jurisdiction and sent the case back to the Middle District of Florida. The company will now pursue a jury trial on its transmitter patent claims, where its expert report supports a damages ask of approximately $440 million excluding interest. The appellate court did not rule on the merits of the receiver claim construction, and it denied ParkerVision's request for a new district court judge. For a company with only $2.5 million in cash and a going concern warning, this litigation represents the primary potential source of value — the remand keeps that path alive while removing the immediate appellate risk.
