Another fine instructional video by John Ferrell. I like the way he gave us a little lesson on the genericness doctrine of trademark law in the middle of his lecture on patent damages! Ed Radlo

Hi John,
1. Is it true that Damages and enhanced Damages awarded by the court only occurs at the end of a trial - with 2 years+ being the minimum length of a case (and 97% of cases don't get to trial)

2. If 1 is true then any damages before trial (after 3, 6, 15, 20 months for example) would be part of a settlement between Defendant and Plantif - with the Damages amount assessed by a Damages expert/s?

3. Does a Judge play any part in Damages assessment pre trial in a settlement?
