Abstract
In the past years, the methodology and evidences in proving reasonable royalty damages have been closely examined and monitored by the District Courts and Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Courts have allowed a variety of methods depending on the case circumstances. Two different approaches approved by the Courts include the hypothetical negotiation and analytical approach. Generally, the Courts reasoned that a "hypothetical negotiation" between the patent owner and the infringer may be used to determine reasonable royalty damages, and provided fifteen factors to consider. The analytical approach involves calculating reasonable royalty damages based on the benefit or excess profit of the patented feature of a product relative to a “normal” profit. More recently, the task of determining reasonable royalty damages in patent litigation has become more complicated as the Courts have provided decisions addressing the issue of how to apportion damages on sales of accused products to reflect the value of discrete patented features, especially patented components or features in larger multi-function infringing products.
The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of thought leaders and professionals who will help the audience understand the most important aspects of reasonable royalty damages. The panel will present their findings and best practices in proving royalty damages.
Key topics include:
- Hypothetical Negotiation
- Analytical Approach
- Apportionment/Smallest Saleable Patent Practicing Unit
- Challenges in Proving Royalty Damages
- Guidance in Establishing Reasonable Royalty Damages
- Recent Court Decisions
