The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear two cases, Halo Electronics v. Pulse Electronics, 769 F.3d 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2014), and Stryker v. Zimmer, 782 F.3d 649 (Fed. Cir. 2015), dealing directly with trebling damages in patent infringement cases. The patent statute, Title 35, governs treble damages at Section 284, and states: "The court may increase the damages up to three times the amount found or assessed." This statutory provision is very similar to the provision governing attorney fees, Section 285, which states: "The court in exceptional cases may award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party." Because the two statutory provisions have similar language, many in the patent litigation world are reading the tea leaves and trying to anticipate the court's decisions in Halo and Striker. The interesting parallels in the cases have Supreme Court pundits on both sides making predictions.

Much has changed in the United States since the country's foundational wage-and-hour law, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), was enacted more than 75 years ago in 1938. Although the FLSA has been amended multiple times, the central aspects of the law remain intact—workers who qualify as "employees" are entitled to the minimum wage and overtime protections of the law, while workers not so classified are not. Yet, as the country moves further and further away from the world that existed during the Great Depression, the concepts enshrined in the law—from the classification of employees as exempt or nonexempt, to a determination of time worked in the digital age, or even identification of workers as employees or independent contractors—have become exponentially more difficult to apply.
