Patent litigation by the numbers

By McKee, Voorhees & Sease, P.L.C.

PricewaterhouseCoopers recently published its annual litigation study entitled 2008 Patent Litigation Study:  Damages awards, success rates and time-to-trial. The study examined a wide range of variables pertaining to patent litigation from 1995 to 2007.  With the number of patents granted increasing every year, the number of patent cases has continued to grow.  Also, with the number of cases growing the amount of damages being awarded continues to grow (several awards over $100 million and some pushing into the billions), and with no legislative changes in sight, developing an effective litigation strategy is crucial.  PWC's study attempts to shed some light on emerging trends in patent litigation.
