- What did the court decide?
In the court's words:
“VACATED and REMANDED with instructions. the number of infringing works, in the absence of any evidence suggesting that particular purchase orders found at the Vertex warehouse overstated the quantity of software produced, the court was entitled to rely on the number of sales they reflected.”
- What does it mean?
