Patent damages question: Lets say a patent has a broad independent claim and a narrower dependent claim. Should the damages calculation be any different for the following three cases where: (1) the broad claim is found to be infringed & valid; (2) the narrow claim is found to be infringed & valid; or (3) both claims are found to be valid & infringed? Further, what if the claims were found in two separate patents? Finally, what additional information would be helpful in answering this question?
