The strange thing is that the gentleman who designed the chip in question was not called as a witness despite being present at the trial so he could offer his own testimony.

Mike Kay is a Qorvo employee and designed the envelope tracker chip used in some iPhones models that Qualcomm alleges infringe on its European patent EP2724461 ("low-voltage power-efficient envelope tracker").

Which did eventually come to pass, in a Federal appeals court ruling in March of this year that overturned the findings of the jury in the previous trial.
