Federal Circuit Holds That 25 Percent Rule for Determining Royalties in Patent Infringement Cases Is Fundamentally Flawed

摘要

Uniloc USA, Inc., and Uniloc Singapore Private Limited (collectively, Uniloc) appealed to the Federal Circuit from the decision of the US District Court for the District of Rhode Island granting Microsoft Corporation's motion for judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) of non-infringement and no willful infringement of asserted claims of Uniloc's US Patent No. 5,490,216 and, in the alternative, granting a new trial on infringement and willfulness.
