In granting plaintiff's motion for enhanced damages, the court noted that "also favoring enhancement is [defense] counsel’s litigation conduct, specifically during trial. Throughout the course of trial [defendant's] trial counsel persisted in arguing that it was somehow improper for a non-practicing patent owner to sue for money damages. He further persisted in improperly trying to equate [plaintiff's] infringement case with the current national banking crisis implying that [plaintiff] was a banker seeking a 'bailout.' These improper arguments were made in spite of the Court’s warnings."
