Damages Expert's Flawed Baseline Royalty Renders Georgia Pacific Analysis Irrelevant

Where plaintiff's damages expert's determination of a baseline royalty rate was rejected, his analysis of the Georgia Pacific factors was also rejected. "Since his baseline was little more than conjecture, it matters little how [the expert] wielded the remaining Georgia Pacific factors in asserting that they resulted in upward or downward 'pressure' on his initial postulate -- plus or minus a guess, is, after all, still a guess."
