EcoFactor Inc. has urged the Federal Circuit to reject Google LLC’s bid for a full court rehearing of its split panel decision that upheld a $20 million patent infringement damages award in EcoFactor’s favor. Google reportedly aims to establish a “rigid rule” that could enable further patent infringements, according to EcoFactor’s argument. The initial decision reinforces the court’s stance on enforcing intellectual property rights in the tech industry. For more details on this developing case, visit Law360.
