United States Federal Circuit

In a patent infringement action involving PET scanners, denial of defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law is affirmed where there is an absence of legal error in the jury instructions and no abuse of discretion in several evidentiary rulings. Damages award for plaintiff, however, is vacated and remanded for a determination of additional damages since district court abused its discretion by failing to determine a reasonable royalty owed to plaintiff on the balance of its claims.
