Robert B0sch LLC moves for reconsideration of this
court’s denial of Bosch’s motion to dismiss the appeals
Py1on Manufacturing Corp. opposes. Bosch replies
On August 1, 2Ol1, this court denied B0sch’s motion
to dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdicti0n. That order
explained that this court has jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
ROBERT BOSCH V. PYLON MFG CORP 2
§ 1292(c)(2) when the underlying case is final except for
an accounting.
Bosch’s motion urges the court to draw a distinction
between an “accounting" under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(c)(2) and
a "jury trial... on the issues of damages and Wi]lfulness.”
Such a distinction, hoWever, is inconsistent with this
court’s precedent. Section 1292(c)(2) does not divest the
district court of jurisdiction to proceed with a damages
trial. As this court has stated, the purpose of § 1292(c)(2)
“alloWing interlocutory appeals in patent cases was to
permit a stay of a damages trial." fn re Calmar, In.c., 854
F.2d 461, 464 (Fed. Cir. 1988). In fact, “this court has
repeatedly denied, in unpublished opinions, motions to
stay damages trials during appeals in patent cases." Id.
Accordingly, ' '
IT ls OR1:)ERED THAT: °
The motion for reconsideration is denied.
