Federal Circuit: Defunct Company Owes $46 Million Default Judgment
It took a Federal Circuit panel just two days after oral argument to decide to affirm a $46 million judgment against an online gaming company that did not respond to a federal lawsuit. During oral argument, a lawyer for Bodog Entertainment told a skeptical court that the accused patent infringer, a defunct company based in Costa Rica, was not operating at the time of the alleged service of the summons and complaint in November 2006. With interest, the amount Bodog owes is more than $50 million.
