Patent Damages After Lucent v. Gateway and Cornell v. HP

Strategies for Establishing or Disproving Infringement Damages

Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar/teleconference with Q&A


Conducted on Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Recorded event now available


This CLE webinar will review how the Lucent and Cornell decisions impact patent damages law, discuss what the decisions mean for patent holders and defendants, and outline strategies for proving or rebutting patent infringement damages.

Description

The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals is not waiting for Congress to initiate patent reform. In two recent decisions, Federal Circuit judges in Lucent v. Gateway and in Cornell v. HP discuss what is needed to establish damages for patent infringement.

In Lucent, the judge raised the standard for patent damages and calls for courts to require specific proof of reasonable royalty. In Cornell, the judge limited a patent holder’s ability to recover royalty on the entire product value when the patent applied only to an element of the product.

Patent holders and defendants must understand the proper analysis for estimating potential infringement damages and what the courts require to establish damages.

Listen as our authoritative panel of IP attorneys examines the Lucent and Cornell decisions, their impact on patent damages law, and what the outcomes mean for patent holders and defendants. The panel will offer best practices for establishing and disproving infringement damages.
