Finisar Corp. won $78.9 million in back damages in a patent infringement case against DirecTV, the company said Monday. The damages were awarded after a two-week trial in a Beaumont, Texas, federal district court where DirecTV was found to be directly, literally and willfully infringing upon Finisar's information transmission patent, according to a release. Sunnyvale-based Finisar makes fiber optic subsystems and network test and monitoring systems.
