The ruling follows a unanimous trial victory from January 30, 2025, where RideCo was found to have infringed on three of Via's virtual bus stop patents. The Court rejected RideCo's attempts to overturn the verdict and their claim of having "designed around" the infringement. While declining an immediate permanent injunction, the Court maintained the option to enjoin RideCo if they fail to make required quarterly royalty payments.
