Reasonable royalty testimony related to surgical device patent

CRA was retained by the plaintiff in a patent dispute to determine the amount of reasonable royalties due as a result of infringement of a patent by a major medical device company. CRA’s intellectual property expert evaluated the economic and technological comparability of multiple license agreements, the feasibility of non-infringing alternatives, and the Georgia-Pacific factors to determine the appropriate reasonable royalty rate. Dr. Sean Sheridan submitted an expert report and provided  testimony in deposition. The case settled prior to trial.
