WASHINGTON, DC - On November 13, 2011, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a judgment that Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., literally and willfully infringed Mr. Michael S. Powell’s patent covering radial arm saw guards. Specifically, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Southern District of Florida court’s claim construction and the court’s denial of Home Depot’s motion for judgment as a matter of law on the issues of infringement, willfulness, and damages. In addition, the Federal Circuit affirmed the district court’s holding that the patent was not unenforceable for inequitable conduct, as well as the court’s award of enhanced damages and attorney fees.
