Retained as damages expert in medical device patent infringement case

Stout was retained as the damages expert by a medical device manufacturer. The company was asserting infringement of patents covering various elements of the functionality and power-management features of implantable pulse generators for use in spinal cord stimulation therapies. Stout’s analysis included the performance of a lost profits calculation under a Panduit test, as well as the determination of two royalty rates, each of which was apportioned to reflect the value of a different element of the accused functionality before being applied to the relevant royalty base.
