Event Summary:

Several recent cases have provided some guidance on what courts will accept in the calculation of reasonable royalties.  In Summit 6, LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., the CAFC accepted a valuation of a patented feature based upon the frequency with which the product was used.  In VirnetX v. Apple the CAFC stated that apportionment may be needed below the level of the "smallest salable unit," when multiple patents or technologies read on that unit.  Ericsson v. D-Link addressed issues of "royalty stacking" and the need to attribute to a standard essential patent only the incremental benefits of the technology described in the patent, excluding the value of the standard itself.  CSIRO v. Cisco provides some guidance on the use of real-world comparable licenses in determining a reasonable royalty and the appropriate royalty base.

Key topics that will be addressed by the panel include:

·         The Use of Surveys and Patent Citation Analysis in Patent Cases

·         Determining ongoing royalties for post-verdict infringement

·         Update on the Entire Market Value Rule: Recent Federal Circuit and District Court Decisions

·         Comparability/Admissibility Issues Pertinent to Patent Damages

·         Enhanced Damages:  The Supreme Court Weighs In On The Tortured History Of Remedies For Willful Infringement, And The Practical Impact Of Halo
