Groupon-IBM Patent Dispute Continues

Groupon-IBM Patent Dispute Continues

It appears Groupon (GRPN) and IBM (IBM) are not about to put their guns down anytime soon. After a period of push and pull over patents, a jury in Delaware returned a verdict in July that Groupon infringed on several patents belonging to IBM. Therefore, the jury decided that Groupon should be made to pay at least $82.5 million to IBM in damages.
