Even the Value of the Smallest Salable Unit Must Be Apportioned
In Finjan, Inc. v. Blue Coat Sys., Inc., 16-2520 (Fed. Cir. Jan. 10, 2018), the Federal Circuit ruled that basing a reasonable royalty calculation on the “smallest salable unit” does not obviate the need to apportion damages to the patented contribution within that unit.
The Federal Circuit vacated a portion of the damages awarded to Finjan by the jury in its patent infringement case against Blue Coat. Finjan's '844 patent (U.S. Pat. No. 6,154,844 titled System and Method for Attaching a Downloadable Security Profile to a Downloadable) claims, inter alia, a method for providing computer security to a local network by attaching a security profile to downloadable content before the content is made available to a user in the local network. For example, the invention can help safeguard a business computer system in the event an employee tries to download content from the Internet that is infected with malware.

Risks of “Baseball Arbitration” in Resolving Real Estate Disputes
“Baseball arbitration” refers to the process used in Major League Baseball in which if an eligible player's representative and the club ownership cannot reach a compensation agreement through negotiation, each party enters a final submission and during a formal hearing each side — player and management — presents its case and then the designated panel of arbitrators chooses one of the salary bids with no other result being allowed. This method has become increasingly popular even beyond the sport of baseball.
