> After a jury unanimously decided last September that Meta owed $175 million to walkie-talkie app-maker Voxer for patent infringement, Meta tried to avoid paying up by requesting a judge either reject the jury's verdict or give Meta a new trial.

> This week, a federal judge denied Meta's request, making it likely that Meta will have to pay all those running royalties for illegally copying Voxer's technology and using it to launch Facebook Live and Instagram Live.

> In his decision, US District Judge Lee Yeakel affirmed that substantial evidence supported the jury's verdict of patent infringement and sufficient evidence supported the damages that the jury awarded Voxer.
