Event Summary:
In February 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) revoked the decisions on Apple Inc. v. Wi-LAN Inc. and California Inst. of Tech. v. Broadcom Ltd. due to flawed expert’s opinion. This resulted in the vacation of previous verdicts of $85 million and $1.1 billion and the remand of new trials on damages. This notable development underscores the significance of an expert’s opinion to be tethered to the facts of the case to ensure its admissibility.
As these, and other notable court rulings, provide considerable implications for the calculation of patent damages moving forward, plaintiffs and practitioners alike must keep themselves apprised of emerging developments.
Listen as IP specialist Kathleen Akers (Epsilon Economics) and experienced testifying expert Joanne Johnson, CPA, CLP (Ocean Tomo LLC) provide an in-depth discussion of the latest trends and notable court rulings impacting patent damages calculation. Speakers, among other things, will also offer useful tools and the best calculation techniques to avoid pitfalls.
Key topics include:
• Patent Damages Calculation: Trends and Developments
• Notable Case Rulings
• Analyzing Significant Implications on Calculating Patent Damages
• Best Calculations Tools and Techniques
• What Lies Ahead
