From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

In Innovention Toys, LLC v. MGA Entertainment, Inc., 611 F. App’x 693 (Fed. Cir. 2015), we decided the appeal brought by defendants -appellants (MGA) from a judg- ment, entered after a jury trial, that awarded enhanced damages and attorney’s fees for MGA’s infringement of certain claims of Innovention’s U.S. Patent No. 7,264,242. We affirmed the rejection of MGA’s obviousness challenge and the ruling that pre-issuance damages under 35 U.S.C. § 154(d) are proper in this case. Innovention, 611 F. App’x at 697–700.
