The bump from 3.5 to 5 percent is for superior bargaining position than prior to the jury verdict. The bump from 5 to 7 is for willful infringement. "Virtually guaranteed" is probably is too strong, but I personally believe the Judge would never go below this, especially if he gives them 45 days to negotiate and the parties fail. At least 7 of 20.9 because the range for increase is 20.9 to 40 percent per the evidence, and I have seen several examples showing a much bigger bump for wilfullness than from merely 5 to 7 percent, which equates to a jump of 40 percent for wilfullness. Double is very common, and triple and quadruple appears in the case law.
