INTERIM DAMAGES FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT


The IPKat has been pondering over a recent case in which the Patents Court awarded interim damages in order to alleviate the position of the claimant, even though the infringement decision was itself under appeal. Is this something that happens often, he wonders, and does it sometimes happen that interim damages turn out to be irrecoverable where an appellate court concludes that there has been no infringement after all?

Interim damages may be grabbed back from the ultimately unsuccessful IP owner

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
