`
`AMENDED FINAL JUDGMENT
`
`This action came before the Court for a four-day trial by jury commencing on March 18,

`(“ASUSTeK”) and ASUS Global Pte. Ltd. (“ASGL”) (collectively, “Defendants”). The issues
`have been tried and the jury rendered its unanimous verdict on March 22, 2024 (Dkt. 332). The
`jury reached and returned its unanimous verdict (ECF No. 332) finding that:

`19 of U.S. Patent No. 8,756,359 (the *359 Patent) (collectively, the “Asserted Claims™);

`e ASUSTeK is liable for the actions of ASGL and ACI, and ASGL is liable for the actions

`
`
`
`
`Case 6:20-cv-00966-ADA Document 377 Filed 03/31/25 Page 2 of 4
`
`ACQIS did not provide ASGL with notice of the 768 and ’359 Patents and a specific
`charge of infringement of the same by a specific product prior to May 12, 2020;
`
`The Asserted Claims are not invalid for lack of written description or lack of
`enablement;
`
`The amount of damages that would compensate ACQIS for the infringement of the
`Asserted Claims is $17,970,582; and
`
`ASUSTeK and ASGL did not willfully infringe the Asserted Claims.
`
`The jury received instructions that it, “[i]f ACQIS can show that ASUSTeK and its
`
`subsidiaries, ASGL and ACI, are so closely linked that those subsidiaries have no separate mind,
`
`will or existence of their own and are business conduits of ASUSTeK . . . then you may find that
`
`ASUSTeK should be held personally liable for the subsidiary corporations for purposes of
`
`determining infringement liability.” ECF No. 317 at 28. The jury’s verdict confirmed agency and
`
`alter ego relationships involving ASUSTeK, ASGL, and ACI, holding that (i) ASUSTeK is liable
`
`for the actions of ASGL and ACI, and that (i1)) ASGL is liable for the actions of ACI. In accordance
`
`with the jury’s verdict, it is hereby ORDERED that judgment is entered in favor of the plaintiff,
`
`ACQIS LLC, and against the defendants, ASUSTeK and ASGL, as to patent infringement as
`
`follows:
`
`Claims 10 and 13 of U.S. Patent No. 9.529,768 (the “’768 Patent”) and Claim 19 of
`U.S. Patent No. 8,756,359 (the “’359 Patent”); collectively, the “Asserted Claims™)
`were directly infringed by ASGL and by ASUSTeK’s subsidiary, Asus Computer
`International (“ACI”);
`
`ASUSTeK is liable for the actions of ASGL and ACI, and ASGL is liable for the actions
`
`of ACIL.

`
`e ASUSTeK and ASGL did not induce infringement of the Asserted Claims;
`
`e ASUSTeK and ASGL did not willfully infringe the Asserted Claims;
`
`e The Asserted Claims are not invalid for lack of written description or lack of
`enablement;
`

`avoidance of doubt the post judgement interest on the costs accrues at $14.53 per day

`prescribed by 28 U.S.C. § 1961 and which shall accrue daily and compound annually.
