Executive Summary

Total Cases

Damages for patent infringement in U.S. District Court cases are awarded infrequently. Out of 36,629 patent cases filed and terminated from 2000 through 2013, only 708 cases (1.9%) involved compensatory damages awards.

Total and Median Awards

While relatively few patent cases involve damages awards, total awards made in these cases involve significant dollar amounts. Over $15 billion in dam-ages, fees, costs and interest have been awarded over the past 14 years. This total includes over $13 billion in compensatory damages, almost $1 billion in enhanced damages and over $200 million in attorneys’ fees.

Total and median damages awards have been increasing during this period, though not at steady rates. When total damages are viewed on a percentage basis, the portion attributable to reasonable royalties generally exceeds the por-tion attributable to lost profits.

The percentile plots show how, for reasonable royalties and lost profits awards (and compensatory damages as whole), damages drop off rapidly after the top awards: while each has a maximum over $1 billion, 90% of those awards are under approximately $50 million, 75% under approximately $10 million, and half under approximately $2 million. Enhanced damages (maximum of $152 million, 90% under $15.3 million, 75% under $2.3 million, and half under $475,000) and awards of attorneys’ fees (maximum of $11.4 million, 90% under $2 million, 75% under $410,000 and half under $43,000) followed a similar distribution.

Largest Awards

The largest damages awards by type show significant variability. Three cases involving awards of $1 billion or more (Centocor v. Abbott Laboratories, Carn-egie Mellon University v. Marvell, Monsanto v. DuPont) top the list of the 10 largest compensatory damages awards, while the remaining seven cases involve awards ranging from $328 million to $482 million. Below these “big-three” $1 billion cases, top reasonable royalties damages awards range from $156

Introduction

This report surveys the landscape of patent litigation damages awarded in U.S. District Court cases filed from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2013. It analyzes these damages awards across districts, judges, parties and law firms. To gain greater insight, this report focuses primarily on compensatory damages (both reasonable royalties and lost profits), enhanced dam-ages, and awards of attorneys’ fees.

The last few years have seen some of the largest awards in patent litigation history - awards that have captured headlines and brought patent damages into mainstream public debate. This report seeks to inform that debate and provide patent litigators with information they can use to set litiga-tion strategies, develop case tactics, and produce results.

million to $482 million, while top lost profits awards range from $57 million to $248 million. Most of these largest awards (8/10 compensatory, 7/10 reasonable royalties, 8/10 lost profits) occurred in the past five years (2009-2013), evidencing the upward trend in the size of awards.

Top enhanced damages awards range from $25 million to $152 million. Top at-torneys’ fees awards range from $5.6 million to $11.4 million.

Comparing total and median compensatory damages awards to total terminated cases also shows an overall upward trend, especially since 2008. The upward trend for total enhanced damages tracks the upward trend in terminated cases more closely than any other damages type. Total attorneys’ fees awards have been some-what trending downward since 2009.

District Courts

No surprise here for patent litigators: Cases filed in the Eastern District of Texas have generated the most awards of compensatory damages (84 cases), total com-pensatory damages (over $5 billion of $13 billion national total, or 38%), total reasonable royalties damages ($2.9 billion of $8 billion national total, or 36%), total lost profits damages ($1.4 billion of $2.7 billion national total, or 52%) and total enhanced damages ($232 million of $989 million national total, or 23%) than cases filed in any other district over the past 14 years.

Districts with far fewer total patent cases, however, top all lists of median damages awards:

Median Compensatory Damages

District of Kansas - $34.8 million (2 cases)

Median Reasonable Royalties Damages

Western District of Pennsylvania - $586 million (2 cases)

Median Lost Profits Damages

Western District of Wisconsin - $38 million (2 cases)

Median Enhanced Damages

Western District of Michigan - $76.1 million (2 cases)

Top attorneys’ fees awards by district also involve districts other than the Eastern District of Texas. The Southern District of New York tops the list of total awards at $34.4 million (14 cases), while the Western District of Pennsylvania tops the list of median awards at $4.7 million (2 cases).

Judges

Four of the seven judges who have awarded the most total compensatory damages are from the Eastern District of Texas: Judges Michael Schneider ($2.3 billion/9 cases), T. John Ward ($1 billion/19 cases), Leonard Davis ($956 million/18 cases) and James Gilstrap ($609 million/15 cases).

The same four Eastern District of Texas judges also appear on the list of top seven total reasonable royalties damages awarded, while Judge Schneider also tops the list of total lost profits damages awarded.

Lex Machina – Patent Litigation Damages Report ii

Judges on the list of top median compensatory damages awards range from Judge Marilyn Huff from the Southern District of California ($188 million/2 cases) to Judge Edward Chen from the Northern District of California ($57 million/3 cases). Judge E. Richard Webber from the Eastern District of Missouri tops the list of median reasonable royalties damages awards ($500 million/2 cases), while Judge Schneider makes another appearance in a top spot, this time for median lost profit damages awards ($589 million/2 cases).

Judges awarding the most total enhanced damages awards range from Judge Robert Jonker of the Western District of Michigan ($152 million/1 case) to Judge Dolly Gee of the Central District of California ($58 million/1 case). Top spots for awards of median enhanced damages range from Judge Kent Jordan of the District of Delaware ($73 million/2 cases) to Judge Garrett Brown of the District of New Jersey ($7.4 million/2 cases).

Judge Denise Cole of the Southern District of New York awarded the most total attorneys’ fees ($16.8 million/3 cases), while Judge Mariana Pfaeizer of the Central District of California topped the list of the largest median attorneys’ fees awards ($6.9 million/2 cases).

Parties

Calculating compensatory damages won per terminated case identifies the top parties (with five or more terminated cases) that show a sustained ability to win patent damages awards. Centocor tops the list at $278 million per case (6 cases). New York University (NYU) is second at $209 million per case (8 cases). The remaining eight parties in the top 10 won between $13.6 million and $94 million per case.

Monsanto has the most cases with compensatory damages awards won, an amaz-ing 71, with a total of $1.02 billion and median of $127,500. Parties with the next most total wins are all in the single digits: Ovidian and Phillips each won six cases, ArrivalStar and Directed Electronics each won five, East-West Trading won four and seven parties each won three.

Centocor and NYU top the list of parties with the most compensatory damages won, with $1.6 billion each. Carnegie Mellon University and Monsanto both also won more than $1 billion in compensatory damages. All top 20 parties with the most compensatory damages won received awards of $128 million or more.

Inventor Bruce N. Saffran M.D., Ph.D., joins Carnegie Mellon, Monsanto, Cento-cor and NYU in the top five of reasonable royalties damages won, all above $500 million.

The list of parties with the most lost profits damages won is also lead by Centocor and NYU, both with awards greater than $1 billion. Versata Software, General Electric, Bard Peripheral Vascular and Warsaw Orthopedic all won lost profits awards of between $100 million and $250 million.

Stryker Corporation ($152 million), Advanced Medical Optics ($142 million), U.S. Phillips ($89.1 million), Muniauction ($76.9 million), and Zenith ($50.8 mil-lion) top the list of parties with the most enhanced damages won.

Parties with the most attorneys’ fees won include Takeda Chemical ($16.8 mil-lion), University of Pittsburgh ($9.2 million), Stryker Corporation ($8 million) and 17 more parties with over $3 million.

The roster of parties with the most cases lost and largest totals of different damages types lost includes both well-known and more obscure companies and inventors.

Lex Machina – Patent Litigation Damages Report iv

Microsoft has six cases with compensatory damages awards lost, for a total of $857 million and median of $110 million. Abbott Laboratories, Cordis and Dell each lost four cases and Apple, Arthrex, Cisco and Hyundai each lost three.

Abbott Laboratories, Marvell Semiconductor and DuPont lead the list of parties with the most compensatory damages lost, each with more than $1 billion. Twen-ty parties have lost more than $112 million in compensatory damages awards.

Marvell Semiconductor and DuPont also top the list of reasonable royalties dam-ages lost, again more than $1 billion each. Twenty parties have lost more than $76 million in reasonable royalties damages awards.

Abbott Laboratories also leads the list of parties with lost profits damages lost. Its $1.17 billion total towers above SAP America at $248 million, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries at $166 million, W.L. Gore at $102 million and Nuvasive at $101 million. Twenty parties have lost more than $20 million in lost profits damages award.

Zimmer ($152 million) and Alcon Manufacturing ($142 million) have the most enhanced damages lost and the only awards above $100 million. Twenty parties have lost more than $12 million in enhanced damages awards.

Parties with the most attorneys’ fees lost are led by Mylan Pharmaceuticals, with $11.4 million. Twenty parties have lost more than $3.7 million in attorneys’ fees awards.

Law Firms

Just as with parties, calculating compensatory damages won per terminated case identifies the top law firms (with five or more terminated cases) with a sustained ability to win patent damages awards. Three firms have won more than $60 mil-lion per case: Caldwell Cassady & Curry tops the list at $80.8 million per case (7 cases), followed by Stokes Roberts & Wagner at $73.6 million (6 cases) and Haar & Woods at $66.6 million per case (15 cases). The remaining law firms in the top 10 won between $20 million and $38 million per case.

Husch Blackwell has 45 cases with compensatory damages awards won, with a total of $1.09 billion and median of $183,639. Law firms with the next most total wins are Thompson Coburn (30 cases, $23.1 million total, $155,170 median), McKool Smith (23 cases, $2.04 billion total, $19 million median), Fish & Rich-ardson (22 cases, $162.3 million total, $2.9 million median) and Frilot (19 cases, $11.1 million total, $200,000 median).

McKool Smith tops the list of law firms with the most compensatory damages won, with $2 billion in 23 cases. Five other firms won more than $1.6 billion in compensatory damages: Sayles Werbner ($1.736 billion), Woodcock Washburn ($1.695 billion), Beck Redden & Secrest ($1.691 billion), Akin Gump ($1.674 bil-lion) and Millberg Gordon Stewart ($1.672 billion).

Twenty-one law firms have total reasonable royalties damages won of more than $500 million, led by McKool Smith with $1.388 billion.

Twenty-five law firms have total lost profits damages won of more than $102 mil-lion, led by Woodcock Washburn with $1.187 billion.

Twenty law firms have total enhanced damages won of more than $55 million, led by McAndrews, Held & Malloy and Miller Johnson with $152 million each.

Twenty-two law firms have total attorneys’ fees won of more than $5.4 million, led by Edwards Wildman with $26 million.

Data Included In, and Excluded From, This Report

Lex Machina’s U.S. District Court data includes all patent cases filed beginning on January 1, 2000.

This report analyzes both total (cumulative) and median1 damages awarded on, or prior to, December 31, 2013, in cases filed beginning on January 1, 2000.It’s important to note that it often take two years or more after the date of filing for a case to generate a damages award.

Because cases filed prior to January 1, 2000, are not included in this report, neither are their damages awards, even if such awards were made on or after January 1, 2000.

In other words, we had to start somewhere, and whatever start date we chose would necessarily result in incomplete data about damages awards made in the years immediately following the start date. So we assume that, in the period 2000-2002, courts made damages awards that are not contained in the data presented in this report.

Data Included

• Compensatory Damages

• Compensatory damages are awarded to compensate the patentee - to place him in the position he would be in had the infringement not occurred.

• Compensatory damages are sub-coded as reasonable royalties, lost profits, or compensatory lump.

• Reasonable Royalties: The statute governing damages for patent infringe-ment specifies that the patentee shall receive “in no event less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the invention by the infringer.”2

• Lost Profits: A patentee may also obtain as damages the profits from sales he would have made absent infringement if he can meet the higher burden of proof defined as the Panduit factors: (1) demand for the pat-ented product, (2) absence of acceptable noninfringing substitutes, (3) his manufacturing and marketing capability to exploit the demand, and (4) the amount of profit he would have made.3

• Compensatory Lump: Where a damages award is clearly compensa-tory but the specific sub-type (reasonable royalties or lost profits) is not specified or the apportionment of the award between sub-types is not specified, we have coded the award as a compenstory lump.

1 To provide data useful to attorneys, parties and others forming an expectation, median graphs in this report exclude entities where the median is based on fewer than two cases. For example, districts with fewer than two cases are excluded from the median graphs in the District Courts section; judges with fewer than two cases are excluded from the median graphs in the Judges section.2 35 U.S.C. § 2843 Panduit Corp. v. Stalin Bros. Fibre Works, Inc., 575 F.2d 1152, 1156 (6th Cir. 1978).

Lex Machina – Patent Litigation Damages Report v

• Enhanced Damages

• Awarded for willful patent infringement, where the judge has discretion to “in-crease the damages up to three times the amount found or assessed.”4

• Calculation of enhanced damages is exclusive to the underlying compensatory damages. For example, a judge awards $1 million in compensatory damages, plus an additional $2 million in enhanced damages.

• Attorneys’ Fees

• In exceptional cases, a judge has discretion to award as damages to the prevailing party the recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees.5

• All prevailing-party fee awards are included, regardless of who won the case (pat-ent rights holder or accused infringer).

• Sanctions under F.R.C.P. Rules 11 or 37 are not included because the standard for sanctions under those rules differ from the standard for awards of attor-neys’ fees under U.S.C. § 285.

• Default Judgments

• When a party fails to appear, or fails to respond to a dispositive motion, the relief requested in the complaint may be granted and result in damages.

• Consent Judgments

• A consent judgment occurs when the parties agree to have the court enter a judg-ment against one party. Because consent judgments are legally enforceable judgments and often occur late in the litigation, they are included to provide more complete data.

Data Excluded

To more accurately quantify the economics of damages awards in the U.S. District Courts, this report excludes:

• Cases awarding only equitable relief (e.g, an injunction)

• Appeals

• Although we hope to include Federal Circuit data in the future, this report is limited to the actions of the district courts to best help readers understand the actual (rather than the legally proper) behavior of those courts. Therefore, this report does not contain data on whether or not damages awarded by district courts were ultimately modified (or overturned) on appeal, or on outcomes in the district courts on remand.

• Cross-Category Damages

• A cross-category damages award is one awarded on the basis of different claim types, without apportionment of the amount among those claim types, (or where documents specifying the types/apportionment are not available). For example, the much-publicized $290 million award in the November 2013 Apple v. Samsung case (N.D. Cal., 5:11-cv-01846-LHK) was not apportioned between patent infringement and trade-dress infringement; thus LMI classifies this award as cross-category.

A Special Note: Law Firms With Attorneys Admitted Pro Hac Vice, Especially in the District of Delaware

Lex Machina has recently become aware of a flaw in the way that the PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) service, which is the source of the raw district court data in our system, encodes data for certain pro hac vice attorneys (attorneys not admitted to practice in a certain jurisdiction, who are allowed to participate in a particular case).

This flaw causes some attorneys and their law firms to be omitted from PACER’s counsel records for certain cases, or to be displayed with an unconventional format. This problem appears to affect only a small number of attorneys and law firms. We are working to revise our data to account for this anomaly.

Nonetheless, as the problem disproportionately affects attorneys who are members of national law firms appearing in cases in the District of Delaware, we note it here. It may impact the data contained in this report, especially the section about law firms.

Because the dataset for this report is limited to cases filed after January 1, 2000, and most cases take more than two years from filing to reach the damages phase, damages totals shown in this report for 2000 and 2001 can be assumed to underreport the actual totals.

Figure 4: Total Damages by Year (Data)

This report is concentrated on compensatory damages (including reasonable royalties, lost profits, and compensatory lumps), enhanced damages, and attorneys’ fees, which comprise the bulk of damages awarded by the courts since 2000. Compared to other damages types, these tend to dominate the landscape of awards and are of the greatest interest to practitioners and litigants.

Lex Machina’s DataThis report draws on data from Lex Machina’s specialized intellectual property litigation database. Although most of our data is derived from litigation information publicly available from PACER (federal court system) or EDIS (the ITC system), Lex Machina applies additional layers of intelligence to bring consistency to, and ensure the completeness of, the data.

For example, this report analyzes trends in patent litigation. To determine whether a case is a patent case, others may blindly trust the Cause-of-Action (CoA) and Nature-of-Suit (NoS) codes entered in PACER. But Lex Machina actively analyzes complaints to ensure that patent cases filed under mistaken CoA/NoS codes (or a CoA/NoS code corresponding to a different claim, e.g. contract in a combined patent/contract case) are not missed. This same system also allows Lex Machina to filter out the many spurious cases that have no claim of patent infringement despite bearing a patent CoA/NoS code (e.g. false marking cases).

Moreover, due to inherent design limitations, PACER often shows inaccurate or corrupted information for older terminated cases. For example, when a lawyer leaves one firm for another, PACER may show closed cases that the lawyer worked on at his old firm as having been handled by his new firm. When combined with law firm splits, acquisitions, and mergers, these inaccuracies accumulate to render PACER data less reliable for older cases. Lex Machina, however, has a historic record going back to the first days of electronic filing on PACER (and other data going back even further). These snapshots, unique to Lex Machina, give us access to normalized contemporary data and enable us to provide more accurate data for older cases than someone using PACER today.
