Question(s) Presented

1. “Whether the Federal Circuit has misapplied the ‘book of wisdom’ set forth in Sinclair Refining Co. v.

2. “Whether Maryland v. Baldwin, 112 U.S. 490 (1884), forecloses an award of damages under a general damages verdict where some claims underlying that award are overturned after trial, and if so, whether a party may challenge such a result notwithstanding agreement to a general damages verdict?”
