The patent risk from this case is fully resolved. T-Mobile faces no damages or injunction from General Access Solutions. Monitor for any appeal by GAS to the Federal Circuit, but the district court's factual findings on non-infringement are highly deferential on appeal.

Executive Summary
T-Mobile USA and Ericsson won two post-trial rulings in the Eastern District of Texas patent case brought by General Access Solutions. The court denied GAS's motion for a new trial on non-infringement of the '477 patent, and also denied defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law on invalidity of the asserted patents. The jury's verdict—finding no infringement and no invalidity—stands. This removes the risk of a new trial or a reversal on invalidity, confirming T-Mobile faces no liability from this case.
