"The damages you award are meant to compensate the patent holder"
Authored by: PJ on Wednesday, December 19 2012 @ 09:08 PM EST
I'm sorry,but your comments don't make any legal sense. Here's an article you might like to read, which states that even the judge's willfulness damages, let along the jury's misguided effort to give more in damages (see verdict form) than the law allows (see jury instructions), very probably won't survive appeal, even if she were to order them:
Additionally, due to the lack of detail in the jury verdict regarding which Samsung products were used to commit willful infringement, it is quite possible that no enhancement of damages for willful infringement will survive an appeal.
The judge is the only one who can triple the damages for willfulness. If you were on the jury, you'd know that, because the judge told the jury that.

So give it a rest, will you? I can't let Groklaw be used for empty opinions not based on reality. I'm too busy. If you don't have enough to keep you busy, how about doing a text version of one of the Comes v. Microsoft exhibits? That'd be more positive.
