Willful
Monday,
the Supreme Court snubbed certiorari for the CAFC en banc
Seagate decision that practically eviscerated willful patent infringement.
Nor reason was given. To seek enhanced damages, the Seagate standard requires
that a patent holder prove that an infringer was "objectively reckless" in
knowingly infringing a patent. Damages deflation ahead.
