Does Patent Quality Drive Damages in Patent Lawsuits? Lessons from the French Judicial System

Abstract

Abstract This paper presents an empirical analysis of the link between patent damage awards and patent quality, based on information from suits filed during the period 2008–2013 in France. Our results show that civil damage awards attributed by French judges are significantly linked to patent quality, as assessed from a statistical point of view, but this link is imperfect.
