His discussion will provide insight into the current application of the Federal Circuit's two-part test for establishing willful infringement in patent cases, including its evolving relationship to pleading standards, dispositive motion practice, pre- and post-litigation conduct, preliminary injunction results and the continuing role of opinions of counsel in ascertaining enhanced damages.
