DALLAS, April 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- McKool Smith, along with Irell

award following an initial finding of infringement for G+
Communications against Samsung," said McKool Smith
Principal Jennifer Truelove,
trial counsel for G+ Communications. "The jury worked hard to
understand the technology and weigh the evidence in this case. Our
client is very pleased with the verdict."
