Use of unregistered engineers or engineers without college degrees is not probative of willfulness

"[Plaintiff] argues that [defendant's] engineers are more likely to engage in willful patent infringement because they lack college degrees or are not registered engineers. It is not obvious to the Court that a college degree or a registration certificate makes one more honest. Absent some evidence or authority to the contrary, the lack of a degree or the lack of a registration is not probative of willfulness."
