The Supreme Court’s Halo v. Pulse decision in June 2016 striking down the Federal Circuit’s two-prong, objective/subjective test in In re Seagate for awarding enhanced patent damages under 35 U.S.C. § 284 raises new and important questions about district court discretion, egregious misconduct (such as by an intentionally infringing "pirate"), appellate review, and burden of proof. To explore these questions and offer practice tips in the process, this article traces the history of willfulness and enhanced damages and describes the current regime established by Halo, which eliminated the loop-hole of an after-the-fact, litigation-inspired defense to willfulness, lowered the burden of proof for enhanced damages, and simplified appellate review of enhanced damages.

The proliferation of internet-enabled devices has allowed children to access the internet at an increasingly younger age, often sharing their personal data without fully appreciating the risks and consequences of doing so. Accordingly, organisations that collect children’s personal data online have a shared responsibility to ensure that such personal data is collected with the appropriate consent obtained and is adequately protected, and to allow children to safely participate in the online space.
