Court denies trademark holder’s damages award

Description

Abstract: What a jury gives, a court can take away. That’s the lesson of Romag Fasteners, Inc. v. Fossil, Inc., where two courts rejected a jury award of almost $7 million against an infringer because the infringement wasn’t “willful.” This article discusses the case and the willfulness requirement. Romag Fasteners, Inc. v. Fossil, Inc., Nos. 2014-1856, 2014-1857, March 31, 2016 (Fed. Cir.)
