Anticipating Justices' View on Trebled Patent Infringement Damages

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.

Federal Circuit Embraces Patent Trial and Appeal Board Rulings

In his Patent and Trademark Law column, Robert C. Scheinfeld writes that the first appeals from the relatively new Patent Trial and Appeal Board under the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act illuminate the Federal Circuit's general respect for the PTAB and Congress' "carefully crafted" balance between its desire for prompt and efficient review at the Patent and Trademark Office, against the necessary recognition of the traditional role of judicial review of agency action.
