`
`FINDINGS ON DAMAGES (IF APPLICABLE)
`
`
`If you have identified claims as both infringed and no invalid in response to questions 4
`through 7, then answer questions 11 through 13.
`
`
`11. What sum of money, if paid now in cash, do you find from a preponderance of
`the evidence would fairly and reasonably compensate Acceleration Bay for
`Activision’s past infringement? Please fill in the amount for each accused product
`that you find infringing.
`
`Only award damages for those patents in which you find a claim both valid and
`infringed. Do not assess any interest, as the Court will determine interest if it
`deems necessary.
