Stockholm District Court significantly cuts down on claimed IP damages

December 8, 2015

Today, Stockholm District Court issued its decision in a case between Well-Head Safety Services AB and Zacco Sweden AB. Well-Head claimed damages of at least SEK 102m from Zacco on grounds of a missed patent application leading to a loss of patent, and allegedly sales, in Canada.

Partners Hendrik Fügemann and Claus Kastberg Nielsen as well as Economist Erik Lindén contributed to the case working for Zacco with an expert opinion on proper damage assessment concluding that damages were likely to be below SEK 3m.

The Court decided to award Well-Head Safety Services AB damages at SEK 2m, but also obliged them to pay Zacco’s legal costs around SEK 1.5m.
