Damage award reduced by 82% on remittitur motion
Power Integrations, Inc. v. Fairchild Semiconductor, et al., Civ. No. 04-1371-JJF, December 12, 2008.
Farnan, J. Court grants in part defendant’s Motion for Remitter [sic], Judgment as a Matter of Law, or, in the Alternative for a New Trial on Damages to the extent that it requests a remittitur enters order reducing the damages awarded by 82%.
Defendant seeks to reduce judgment amount following two separate jury verdicts in plaintiff’s favor on infringement, willful infringement and validity. The Court finds the damages calculated by plaintiff’s expert to be beyond the scope of evidence which supported a finding of infringing activity within the United States. Accordingly, the jury verdict award is reduced by 82% which represents that portion of the infringing products not imported into the U.S.
