On February 16, 2021, Judge Staton of the Central District of California ordered an additional $3.7 million in enhanced damages for client Pavo Solutions, LLC against defendant Kingston Technology, Co. The Court awarded the enhanced damages based on an earlier jury verdict finding that Kingston willfully infringed Pavo’s ‘544 Patent relating to a portable memory drive. The Court faulted Kingston for “a cursory and legally deficient internal investigation into the validity of, and Kingston’s infringement on, the ‘544 Patent.” Critically, the Court also found that “the line between zealous advocacy and litigation misconduct was crossed” by “Kingston’s gamesmanship with respect its noninfringement arguments and its production of cost data on the Accused Product.” Pavo is represented by Russ August & Kabat attorneys Benjamin T. Wang, Andrew D. Weiss, Adam S. Hoffman, Jacob R. Buczko, and Minna Y. Chan. Read the Opinion.
