Facts
Toyota Motor Corp. (Toyota) (defendant) sold vehicles that infringed a patent held by Paice LLC (Paice) (plaintiff). As part of an award of damages for Toyota’s infringement, a district court ordered Toyota to pay $25 per infringing vehicle for the life of Paice’s patent. The district court did not provide any reasoning for the rate amount. Paice appealed the order as outside of the district court’s authority and in violation of its right to a trial on the rate amount.
