AP Racing Ltd v Alcon Components Ltd [2016] EWHC 116 (IPEC)
This was a damages inquiry following the successful infringement action relating to a patent for disk brake calipers used in high performance motor vehicles. Hugo Cuddigan acted for the patentee. The defendant had sought to argue that, were it for its sales of infringing calipers, the patentee would not have realised those sales itself, for a host of reasons. The judge disagreed, deciding that 100% of the defendant’s sales would have been achieved by the patentee. He also awarded very significant convoyed sales, being sales of brake discs and associated hardware, in respect of 70% of those caliper sales.
