MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA / ACCESS Newswire / November 10, 2025 / Hudnell Law Group P.C. is pleased to announce that founding principal Lewis Hudnell has authored an article titled "Federal Circuit Enforces Gatekeeping Role in Patent Damages Testimony," published in the September/October 2025 online issue of IP Litigator, a leading journal for intellectual property litigation professionals.
In the article, Mr. Hudnell examines the Federal Circuit's en banc decision in EcoFactor, Inc. v. Google LLC, which reversed a $20 million patent damages award for admitting unreliable expert testimony. The decision reinforces trial courts' duty to rigorously assess the factual basis of damages opinions under Federal Rule of Evidence 702 and Daubert, marking a significant development for patent litigators and damages experts alike.
"This decision could have a significant impact for patent litigation practice," said Mr. Hudnell. "The Federal Circuit made clear that trial courts must rigorously evaluate the factual foundations of expert damages opinions before allowing them to reach a jury."
