.Patent infringement litigation can expose alleged infringers to an exorbitant amount of patent damages, particularly if the jury finds that there was "willful infringement" and as a result awards treble damages — enhancing the award in a given case by three times the actual damages. For decades, businesses have used patent infringement opinion letters as a shield in intellectual property infringement litigation.
Years of precedence have been questioned in recent years regarding the need for opinion letters when claims of infringement are brought to a company's attention. Not only has this caused confusion among the countless businesses intertwined in patent infringement disputes, in some cases, such as Broadcom Corporation v. Qualcomm Incorporated, it has caused business owners to choose not to obtain an opinion letter — a fatal mistake costing the business millions of dollars.
With the confusion that has arisen in recent years regarding the Seagate decision, it is becoming apparent that opinion letters are still a very powerful piece of evidence in eliminating exposure to excessive damages for willful infringement.
