ePlus Inc.
Lawson Software
The Federal Circuit gave Finnegan client Lawson Software, Inc. a nearly complete win against ePlus, Inc., which had sued Lawson in district court, seeking $24 million in damages and an injunction against Lawson’s software sales. The district court had found that Lawson infringed five claims of two different patents and had granted a permanent injunction. In the appellate case, the Federal Circuit determined that ePlus was not entitled to any damages, affirming the district court’s findings that ePlus’s expert report was faulty and that striking damages was an appropriate sanction. The Federal Circuit reversed the district court’s findings of infringement on four of the five patent claims, finding two invalid and two not infringed, resulting in Lawson’s main software product being clear of any infringement claim.
