Apple v. Motorola: admissibility of expert testimony on royalties; injunctive relief
Abstract
In Apple v. Motorola, 757 F.3d 1286 (Fed. Cir. 2014), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for the first time addressed the propriety of injunctive relief for the infringement of FRAND-committed SEPs. The court also addressed issues concerning the admissibility of expert testimony on FRAND royalties and reasonable royalties. Its resolution of both sets of issues, on the facts presented, nevertheless left open several questions that U.S. courts either are still in the process of working through, or have yet to directly confront.
