    It does not mean that a patent owner can choose to elect damages under Section 289 and then rely on the non-elected damages section to justify asking for more money. Indeed, as courts have explained, “[s]ection 289 provides an alternative remedy to section 284, for infringement of design patents.” Junker v. HDC Corp., C-07-05094 JCS, 2008 WL 3385819, at *3 (N.D. Cal. July 28, 2008) (emphasis added).

    mely invoked their right to a jury trial. VI. ATTORNEYS’ FEES Should VIZIO prevail in this action, VIZIO will respectfully seek an award of attorneys’ fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285. VIZIO respectfully submits that at least the following conduct by Nichia would support an award of attorneys’ fees in this action:  Nichia’s continued assertion of patents that are closely related to the patents asserted and held invalid in the Everlight litigation;  Nichia’s refusal to withdraw infringement allegations related to products for which it failed to timely serve an expert report;  Nichia’s refusal to withdraw infringement allegations related to products that were licensed under its agreement with ;  Nichia’s refusal to withdraw the ‘375 patent after failing to obtain any discovery regarding the methods used to manufacture the accused LEDs;  Nichia’s request for a damages award under 35 U.S.C. § 284 for inter partes review defense costs, including attorneys’ fees, when Section 284 does not cover such fees and Nichia has provided no basis as to why such fees were reasonable;  Nichia’s refusal to make the inventors of the asserted patents available for deposition in the United States (requiring VIZIO to successfully move to compel) and then later listing them as trial witnesses that Nichia intends to call at trial.

  7. Sound View Innovations, LLC v. Hulu, LLC

    MEMORANDUM in Opposition to NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION to Exclude Testimony

    Filed March 18, 2019

    5 Case No. LACV17-04146 JAK (PLAx) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 standard for awarding enhanced damages under § 284—and willfulness is an example of behavior that is egregious. Hulu is well aware that willfulness infringement is, by definition, egregious under § 284. Indeed, Hulu’s counsel in this case published an article shortly after the Halo decision, explaining as much: In Halo Electronics Inc. v. Pulse Electronics Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned the Seagate test for enhanced damages in patent infringement cases under 35 U.S.C. Section 284. . . .

  8. Nichia Corporation v. VIZIO, Inc.

    OPPOSITION re: NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION to Exclude Certain Opinions of Nichia's Expert Witness John C. Jarosz 176

    Filed November 5, 2018

    C. VIZIO’s Cases Do Not Support Its Conclusion VIZIO cites to no authority to support its contention that it was improper to include those costs from the IPR in Mr. Jarosz’s damages calculation. In fact, VIZIO’s cases do not deal with IPRs or Section 284 at all. Mahurkar v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 79 F.3d 1572 (Fed. Cir. 1996), deals with a different issue of trying to arbitrarily increase a royalty rate to account for attorneys’ fees incurred from the district court litigation, for which there is a specific statutory provision, Section 285, to apply when those fees would be appropriate.
