1 PREDICTING THE UNPREDICTABLE : AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF U.S. PATENT INFRINGEMENT AWARDS 12 TH Annual Intellectual Property Scholars Conference Stanford University Law School 9 August 2012 Michael J.

2 Focus: PredicDng Damage Awards Widespread concern exists about the unpredictability of patent damage awards and its effect on everything from lidgadon strategy to incendves for innovadve acdvity FTC Report highlights losery Dcket mentality regarding lidgadon outcomes in some circles. Our approach: assemble comprehensive data on damage awards and run straighuorward regressions that use readily available, reasonable factors to predict award size. Findings: Infringement damages are highly predictable overall and are correlated with factors associated with economic value of patents, lidgant size and case complexity.

4 Focus: PredicDng Damage Awards Widespread concern exists about the unpredictability of patent damage awards and its effect on everything from lidgadon strategy to incendves for innovadve acdvity FTC Report highlights losery Dcket mentality regarding lidgadon outcomes in some circles. Our approach: assemble comprehensive data on damage awards and run straighuorward regressions that use readily available factors to predict award size. Findings: Infringement damages are highly predictable overall and are correlated with factors associated with economic value of patents, lidgant size and case complexity.
5 Prior Literature Studies by Lanjouw & Schankerman ( ) described the predictors of patent lidgadon. Studies by consuldng firm PwC ( ) described the data (and caused considerable alarm). Lemley & Shapiro (2007) demonstrated heterogeneity across industries in reasonable royalty rates. Allison, Lemley & Walker (2009) described the characterisdcs of the most lidgated patents. Operdeck (2009) finds no overriding paserns when trying to explain the size of awards stadsdcally.
6 Analysis Dataset: comprehensive informadon from 340 cases decided in US federal courts between 1995 and Controls: characterisdcs that correlate with economic value such as patent citadons, firm size and ownership, industry as well as case informadon. Findings: a straighuorward regression analysis establishes that our controls explain more than 74 percent of the variadon in patent damage awards.

8 Dataset: Size distribudon of damage awards in patent infringement cases,
9 Almost the EnDre Iceberg: the top eight cases represent 47.6 percent of collecdve damages
10 Analysis Dataset: comprehensive informadon from 340 cases decided in US federal courts between 1995 and Controls: assembled a detailed set of case characterisdcs, matched to the damage award levels, to act as potendal explanatory variables.

Regressions: 1. Overall predictability of damage award amounts. 2. Analysis of explanatory power of pardcular significant factors.

21 ApplicaDons & Extensions Model that explains awards can also be used to predict damage award levels based on available data (case, lidgant and patent at issue informadon). Expand dataset to include informadon about: More nuanced details regarding potendal non pracdcing enddes Cases lost at trial Cases sesled between infringement decision and damage awards
22 Summary SystemaDc empirical evidence suggests that the wellpublicized, very large patent infringement damage awards are infrequent. Constructed regression model with detailed control variables explains considerable pordon of the variadon in observed damage awards. More targeted regressions suggest that patent value, lidgant size and case strategy affect the level of damage awards (in predictable ways). Future research: expanding the dataset on damage awards and exploring other datasets on patent value.
