Eve of Trial Supplement to Damages Expert Report Justifies Monetary Sanctions Award​

The court sanctioned plaintiffs for producing an unsolicited addendum to their damages expert report which required defendants to file a motion to strike. "The Court has now three times granted Defendants’ Daubert Motions on the issue of [the expert's] estimation of indirect sales in the United States to prove damages for indirect infringement. . . . Given that the Court’s orders have been entirely clear and [plaintiff] has provided no justifiable explanation for why [the expert] impermissibly supplemented his report without leave of Court on the eve of trial, thereby forcing [defendants] to file the instant emergency motion, the Court finds that fees for the motion are appropriately awarded to [defendants]."
