The discussion centers on the implications of this decision on future damages awards for such patents, how this decision is likely to be used by the courts in the future, and how litigants need to change the way they manage their damages cases to account for this change in the law. Other new developments include whether plaintiffs can use licenses obtained in litigation to prove an "established royalty" under the Georgia-Pacific factor No.1; and courts awarding ongoing royalties instead of imposing injunctions.
