Editorial Summary

AI-assisted editorial summary; not attorney-reviewed. Verify against the opinion itself before relying on any characterization of the holding.

GREE moved in two related cases to exclude portions of the expert testimony of Supercell's damages expert, Mr. Bakewell, who opined that in a hypothetical negotiation the parties would have agreed to a lump-sum royalty rather than the running royalty proposed by GREE's expert, Dr. Becker. Mr. Bakewell relied in part on license agreements produced by GREE. Judge Payne found the challenges went to weight rather than admissibility and denied both motions.
