Bloomberg Law Quotes Prof. Cotter on Recent Federal Circuit Damages Opinions

An August 21, 2020 Bloomberg Law article titled “Sweat the Small Stuff: Lessons of Federal Circuit Damages Cases” discusses six recent decisions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on damages for patent infringement. The article quotes Professor Tom Cotter as stating, among other things, that these decisions show “how important small things,” such as the rules requiring patent “marking,” can be. “The marking cases ... are ‘probably rather obscure even to many people in the IP world,’ Cotter said. But patent owners limit their damages if they don’t comply with the statute’s technicalities, he said in an email.”
