Reasonable Royalty Patent Infringement Damages: A Proposal for More Predictable, Reliable, and Reviewable Standards of Admissibility and Proof for Determining a Reasonable Royalty	2015	30	.pdf	application/pdf	13982	740	54	Reasonable royalty damages are generally calculated using standards that seek to determine at what value a willing patentee and a potential licensee would have agreed to license the patent, assuming the patent is valid and infringed (“the hypothetical negotiation”).47 In other words, the determination considers how much the patentee would have made in licensing royalties from the infringer if no infringement had occurred.48 The calculation of reasonable royalty damages generally involves the testimony of damages experts49 and a consideration of the ubiquitous, non- exclusive factors set forth in Georgia-Pacific Corp. v. U.S. Plywood Corp.50 Indeed, many companies would cease to exist were it not for the limited-time monopoly granted by patents.2 In light of the importance of patents, it is equally important that the legal frameworks under which the United States patent system operates are robust; one such framework is the standard for assessing reasonable royalty damages.	cache/inlawrev-18974.pdf	txt/inlawrev-18974.txt
