United States Federal Circuit
Powell v. The Home Depot USA, Inc., 2010-1409
In an appeal from a judgment of the district court finding that defendant literally and willfully infringed on plaintiff's patent for radial arm saw guards and awarding enhanced damages and attorney fees, judgment is affirmed where the verdict and damages determination are supported by substantial evidence, and because the court correctly: 1) constructed subject patent claim; 2) found no inequitable conduct; and 3) awarded attorney fees for litigation misconduct and vexatious and bad faith litigation by defendant.
