Prof. Cotter Quoted in Law360 Article on Willful Patent Infringement

A Jan. 13 story in Law360 entitled "Federal Circuit Ruling Shows Appetite for Revisiting Willfulness," discussing the Federal Circuit's recent decision in the patent infringement case Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. v. W.L. Gore & Associates, quoted Professor Tom Cotter as stating that, now that the Supreme Court has changed the standard for awarding attorneys' fees in patent cases, "a lot of people think that the standard for willful infringement and enhanced damages has to change as well . . . . The issue is bound to be determined in the near future." Cotter also posted a write-up on the case on his blog, ComparativePatentRemedies.com.
