The Federal Circuit has ordered a new trial in the patent infringement case EcoFactor v. Google, citing the unreliability of the plaintiff's damages expert. This decision is expected to increase scrutiny on the admissibility of damages testimony in patent litigation and may lead to more challenges against such evidence. The ruling was issued en banc, reinforcing the court's position on the standards for expert testimony in patent damages. Additionally, related legal commentary highlights the Federal Circuit's clarification on damages expert admissibility. In other legal developments, the Massachusetts Appeals Court affirmed treble damages for a knowing violation of Chapter 93A related to consumer protection, and the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision concerning a trustee’s power to set aside fraudulent transfers.
