United States Federal Circuit

In patent infringement litigation involving a patent for prosthetic vascular grafts, the judgment in the district court in favor of the plaintiff is affirmed, where: 1) the district court did not err in denying the defendant's post-trial motion for judgment as a matter of law on issues of proper inventorship, anticipation, obviousness, written description, and willfulness of the infringement; and 2) the district court did not abuse its discretion in awarding enhanced damages, attorneys' fees and costs, and an ongoing royalty.
