6 Statutory Bases ( 139 Patent Act / 24a Utility Model Act) Negligence Market participants must conduct patent searches (Federal Supreme Court Diarähmchen I ) Scale of searches and efforts to identify third party rights depend on the size of the defendant enterprise, its possibilities to investigate the features of the goods and on its knowledge of the circumstances establishing an infringement Department stores selling a large variety of goods may not have to conduct searches but could rely on manufacturers searches (District Court of Düsseldorf Strickwarenhandel ) problem: 45 no. 2 s. 2 TRIPS? 124
7 Limitation ( 141 (1) Patent Act, 195, 199 Civil Code) 3-year period starting at the end of the year in which the claimant learned or ought to have learned about the infringement 10-year period of origination of the claim 30-year period of the infringement whatever is shortest 125
8 Calculation of Damages Claimant may finally elect loss of profit profit realized by the infringer marketable license 126
9 Loss of Profit Comparing assets with and without the infringement What is the amount of the loss caused by the infringement? Claimant must prove that he (or a licensee) would have had the business had the infringer not used the infringing technology. decline in business after infringer stepped in no other reasons for decline Claimant must provide at least a well-substantiated estimate ( 287 Code of Civil Procedure) 127
10 Profits Realized by the Infringer Profits generated by the infringement exclusive of any further benefits derived from the rise in working capital (no evolving profits) No overhead deduction Supreme Court decision only relating to design models Judges want to find distinction to correct the decision for patent cases, argument: design model has often bigger influence on total profit than patent correcting element shall possibly be found elsewhere Exclusive of: rise in profits relating to advertising, enhanced distribution channels, goodwill of the infringer Open: Reclaim of costs saved by the use of patented technology 128
11 Marketable License Claimant is to be put in a position not worse than the position claimant would have been in had the infringer asked for a license What would have the parties agreed had they foreseen the course of business? Interest: prime lending rate plus 3.5% starting February 1 of the year following the infringement Increase / decrease: plus loss of goodwill of the claimant, no inspection of books, possibility to attack the validity of the patent minus uncertainty of infringer s investment, risk of exposure to further damages, use of other patents / IP rights 129
12 Procedural Law No discovery, no disclosure No saisie, no Anton Piller order changing now No attack on a granted patent in infringement proceedings stay in case the Patent Office overlooked something National nullity proceeding only after opposition decision or end of term to oppose Routine decisions within one year Preliminary injunctions within hours / several weeks Multi-step procedure for damages: Obtain a decision on the infringement Enforce claims concerning information and rendering of account Litigate on affirmation in lieu of oath if necessary Litigate the amount of damages And finally: enforcement of damages against all infringers 130
