On June 22, 2018 the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in WesternGeco LLC v. Ion Geophysical Corp., ruling that patent owners can recover profits lost outside of the United States due to infringement. Law360 reached to Finnegan partner Charles Collins-Chase for his thoughts on the decision.
Charles said, "You still have to establish damages sufficiently to show that you’re entitled to damages. In cases where the supply chain is more convoluted, it may be the case that proximate cause would bar damages."
