Recent Developments in Patent Litigation

Compass Lexecon experts provide testimony in a wide range of patent related litigation, including disputes over patent licensing, damages from infringement, economic evidence on patent validity, and economic analysis of licensing commitments. For example, Compass Lexecon experts Professor Dennis W. Carlton and Dr. Allan L. Shampine were separately retained in recent confidential arbitrations concerning alleged wrongdoing involving patents. Those matters ended favorably for our clients. Professor Janusz A. Ordover provided testimony on the licensing of standard essential patents subject to commitments to license on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms in ongoing district court litigation. Also, Dr. Shampine testified in ongoing reviews before the United States Patent and Trademark Office Patent Trial and Appeal Board in which he analyzed secondary considerations of non-obviousness and responded to opposing expert testimony.
