IBM has secured a $44.9 million damages award from a federal jury in Delaware, which found Zynga guilty of infringing on IBM’s patents related to foundational internet technology. The jury's decision, announced on Friday, pertains to Zynga’s "Farmville" series and other games that violated two IBM patents focused on web-based communications.

Zynga contested the allegations, arguing that the patents were invalid. The company, through spokesperson Alan Lewis, expressed disappointment with the verdict and plans to appeal.
