Impinj awarded $18.5M in damages in patent lawsuit against NXP

A federal jury in California has found that Dutch semiconductor giant NXP infringed two of Impinj's patents related to radio frequency identification (RFID) chips. The jury awarded Impinj approximately $18.5 million in damages and lost profits.

The technology at issue is used to connect billions of items to the internet and help companies track their products. Impinj is a Seattle-based company that is a leading provider of RFID technology.

This is the second decision this summer that has come down in Impinj's favor. In June, a federal jury in Washington concluded that Impinj was innocent of infringing on NXP's patent.
