In the recent case, MLC Intellectual Property, LLC v. Micron Technology, Inc.<\/em>, No. 2020-1413 (August 26, 2021), the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard and decided on MLC\u2019s appeal of the district court\u2019s ruling, from the Northern District of California.<\/p>\n

MLC sought to appeal the district court\u2019s orders excluding certain opinions given by MLC\u2019s damages expert.\u00a0 The primary problems the district court found in MLC\u2019s damages experts opinions related to the methodology used to calculate a reasonable royalty, MLC\u2019s failure to disclose and produce key documents related to its damages theory when requested, and the failure to establish comparability between the licenses relied upon and the hypothetical license at issue.<\/p>\n

In the calculation of a reasonable royalty, MLC\u2019s damages expert offered opinions based on two different approaches to determine the royalty base: a comparable license approach and the smallest saleable patent practicing unit (\u201cSSPPU\u201d) approach. \u00a0In the comparable license approach, MLC\u2019s expert included all revenue associated with the accused products, while in the SSPPU approach, only apportioned revenue (limiting the cost of each non-SSPPU to the average selling price of the SSPPU) was included.<\/p>\n

To calculate the appropriate royalty rate, MLC\u2019s expert relied upon license agreements with Hynix and Toshiba.\u00a0 Both agreements were lump-sum license agreements for an entire patent portfolio, without a specified running royalty rate. However, MLC\u2019s expert calculated an effective royalty rate of 0.25% in these two agreements, relying upon a \u201cmost-favored customer\u201d provision in the Hynix agreement.\u00a0 After consideration of all of the Georgia-Pacific<\/em> factors, MLC\u2019s expert calculated and applied a royalty rate of 0.375% to the royalty base (in two versions, one from the comparable license approach and the other from the SSPPU approach).<\/p>\n

Micron filed a motion in limine to disallow MLC\u2019s expert from deriving a royalty rate of 0.25% from the Hynix and Toshiba agreements. Additionally, Micron filed a motion to exclude portions of MLC\u2019s expert report because MLC failed to disclose information related to its damages theories in responses to interrogatories and during a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition prior to the issuance of MLC\u2019s damages expert report. Finally, Micron filed a Daubert<\/em> motion based on MLC\u2019s expert\u2019s failure to apportion out the value of non-patented features. The district court granted all three motions.<\/p>\n

On the appeal of the district court\u2019s exclusion of MLC\u2019s expert\u2019s opinion that the Hynix and Toshiba agreements reflected a 0.25% royalty rate, the appellate court affirmed the district court\u2019s finding that the MLC expert\u2019s opinion was not based on sufficient facts or data, nor was it the product of reliable principles.\u00a0 Expanding upon this affirmation the appellate court stated the opinion was not sufficiently tied to the evidence presented, especially given that no mathematical analysis was presented to demonstrate the derivation of the 0.25% royalty rate from the lump sum payments in the two agreements.<\/p>\n

With respect to the appeal of Micron\u2019s granted motion to strike portions of MLC\u2019s expert\u2019s report, the appellate court determined the district court was within its rights in finding MLC did not properly disclose its claim that the Hynix and Toshiba licenses reflected an effective royalty rate of 0.25%, nor did MLC properly disclose extrinsic documents relied upon by its expert to demonstrate the calculation of the 0.25% royalty rate in the Hynix agreement.\u00a0 Furthermore, the appellate court agreed with the district court that, had this information been properly disclosed, Micron would have been able to seek additional fact discovery on this claim.<\/p>\n

Finally, the appellate court affirmed the grant of Micron\u2019s Daubert<\/em> motion for the exclusion of MLC\u2019s expert\u2019s opinion on a reasonable royalty, based on the failure to apportion.\u00a0 In its opinion, the appellate court stated, \u201cWe have repeatedly held that when the accused technology does not make up the whole of the accused product, apportionment is required,\u201d yet MLC\u2019s expert did not apportion through the royalty base nor the royalty rate.[1]<\/a>\u00a0 MLC\u2019s expert was also found to have not sufficiently established the licenses as comparable, highlighted by the fact that he did not conduct any analysis of comparability and differences between the licensed technology and the accused technology. Without established comparability, the appellate court agreed with the district court that MLC\u2019s expert\u2019s comparable license opinion did not apportion for the value of the patented technology.<\/p>\n

The appellate court did not find MLC\u2019s further arguments persuasive, and thus affirmed the underlying district court\u2019s opinions and orders on the three motions excluding MLC\u2019s expert\u2019s opinion on a reasonable royalty.<\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> The appellate court disagreed with the district court\u2019s opinion that the only way to apportion is through the royalty base. The appellate court held that apportionment could also be done through the royalty rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
