The Columbia University Library in New York City. REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton Acquire Licensing Rights Summary Companies Law Firms Oct 2 (Reuters) - A federal judge in Virginia has ruled that software company Gen Digital (GEN.O) , formerly known as NortonLifeLock, owes New York's Columbia University nearly $481.3 million in a patent lawsuit over cybersecurity technology, more than doubling a jury's award for the school from last year. U.S. District Judge Hannah Lauck said in a final judgment issued on Saturday that Columbia's $185 million jury verdict should be multiplied after Gen Digital had willfully infringed the patents with its antivirus software and other security products.
