United States Federal Circuit

In a challenge to the district court's award of damages in a patent infringement action, the district court's judgment is vacated and remanded for revision of damage award where, although the district court’s methodology in this case--insofar as it relied on the parties' actual licensing discussions--is not contrary to damages law, the district court erred in not accounting for the patent's standard-essential status and in its reasons for discounting a relevant license agreement.
