11.18.19
Focusing on the issues of willful infringement and enhanced damages, the Intellectual Property Law Association of Chicago and the China Intellectual Property Training Center co-organized the event, which demonstrated the difference between U.S. and Chinese IP law. The program was timely as China recently passed a regulation providing for willful patent infringement. Together with McAndrews’ Stephanie Samz, Hwang and Laughton won an affirmance from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit of the $254 million judgment for Stryker in Stryker Corporation v. Zimmer, Inc. – one of the largest enhanced damage awards in patent history.
