How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that award of quarterly compounding of prejudgment interest was matter within trial court’s discretion
  • rejecting the argument that a patentee must demonstrate that it borrowed at the prime rate in order to be entitled to prejudgment interest at that rate
  • rejecting defendant's argument there is a rule requiring \affirmative demonstration\ because \the question of the rate at which such an award should be made is a matter of left to the sound discretion of the trier of fact\
  • rejecting a special master’s rate that failed to give effect to the licensor’s actual practice, stating that “[i]f the master had looked to [the licensor’] actual practices ... the guessing game as to the economic value of the up-front payments would have been unnecessary”
  • “The patentee’s usual licens- ing approach should be considered in assessing a reason- able royalty.”
  • “We reject [the defendant’s] argument because our considered view of Lam is that it did not establish any ‘rule’ requiring what [the defendant] calls an ‘affirmative demonstration’ [of the necessity of a higher interest rate].”
