AIA America, Inc. v. Avid Radiopharmaceuticals, No. 16-2647 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 10, 2017)

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.

AIA America, Inc. appeals the district court’s award of attorney’s fees to Avid Radiopharmaceuticals and the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. Because the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial does not apply to requests for attorney’s fees under § 285 of the Patent Act , the district court did not err by making factual findings not foreclosed by the jury’s verdict on standing, and AIA’s due process rights were not violated, we affirm.
