Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corp., et al. v. Shell Oil Company, et al., No. 99-274-SLR, Mar. 14, 2006.

Robinson, J.  Plaintiffs’ motion for entry of judgment was affirmed in part and denied in part.  Plaintiffs requested prejudgment interest through the entry of judgment after appeal.  Prejudgment interest was allowed only up to the date of the original district court judgment.



 

A jury found infringement and no willfulness and awarded damages of over $153 million.  The Federal Circuit affirmed but remanded for calculation of damages from foreign sales.  Plaintiffs sought additional prejudgment interest from date of district court opinion through final judgment after appeal.  Prejudgment interest was awarded at the prime rate up to the date of the original district court judgment.
