Listen to the Joystiq Podcast (because your ears can't read)

Poetic justice in amount cited for Visto-Seven infringement penalty?

Late Tuesday, a ruling by U.S. District Court Judge T. John Ward in Texas awarded RIM-suing Visto Corp. damages in a patent infringement suit it had filed against Seven Networks.

In making the ruling, Judge Ward doubled and added interest to a jury's original $3.6 million award, which was decided upon in April.

Now the ruling is $7.7 million.

So let's get this straight. Seven Networks has to pay Visto $7.7 million.

No lucky sevens here, that's for sure.
