Nortel spokesman Mohammed Nakhooda said the company plans to file unspecified “post trial motions” and will continue to fight the lawsuit. “We strongly disagree that the verdict is supported by the facts or the law,” he said

It looks like the issue here is related to a reissued patent with an extension of the original claims. Here is the original patent with 14 Claims ... patft.uspto.gov and here is the reissued patent with 39 Claims ... patft.uspto.gov

This covers what is behind getting a patent reissued ... tms.org

There are a number of important limitations on one's right to obtain a reissue patent. The reissue route cannot be used to introduce new matter into the patent. The claims sought in the reissue must fall within the invention as described in the original patent. If the reissue seeks to broaden the claims, the application for reissue must be flied within two years after the date of grant of the patent. If the reissue seeks to narrow the claims, the application can be filed at any time prior to expiration of the patent. The reissued patent will expire 17 years after the date of grant of the original patent.

Could the issue of law be that September 17th, 1993 is not within 2 years of September 17th, 1991?
