A weekly summary of the precedential patent-related opinions
issued by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the
opinions designated precedential or informative by the Patent Trial
and Appeal Board.
Omega Patents, LLC v. CalAmp Corp.,
No. 2020-1793, -1794 (Fed. Cir. (M.D. Fla.) Sept. 14, 2021).
Opinion by Prost, joined by Dyk. Opinion dissenting in part by
Hughes.
Omega sued CalAmp for infringement of four patents relating to
"multi-vehicle-compatible systems" that can remotely
control various vehicle functions. A first jury trial was held and
then, following an appeal and remand by the Federal Circuit, a
second jury trial was held.
In the second jury trial, the jury found, as pertinent here,
that CalAmp directly infringed one patent (the '278 patent) but
did not induce infringement of a second patent (the '885
patent), and awarded a per-unit royalty. The district court upheld
the jury verdict and awarded Omega an ongoing per-unit royalty.
