Position vectors r and r′ used in the calculation. Retarded time t r or t′ is calculated with a "speed-distance-time" calculation for EM fields.. If the EM field is radiated at position vector r′ (within the source charge distribution), and an observer at position r measures the EM field at time t, the time delay for the field to travel from the charge distribution to the observer is |r ...
Reverse payment patent settlements, also known as "pay-for-delay" agreements, [1] are a type of agreement that has been used to settle pharmaceutical patent infringement litigation (or threatened litigation), in which the company that has brought the suit agrees to pay the company it sued.

A common file format for storing the lookup tables is the Liberty [2] [3] format. A very simple model called the K-factor model is sometimes used. This approximates the delay as a constant plus k times the load capacitance. A more complex model called Delay Calculation Language, [4] or DCL, calls a user-defined program whenever a delay value is ...
Under 35 U.S.C. § 284, a patent owner is entitled to "damages adequate to compensate for the infringement, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty." [8] Lost profits that result from infringement of their patent are also compensable. Reasonableness is determined by the standard practices of the particular industry most relevant to the ...
