Largest patent case award

According to Official Guinness Records,

In 2009 a jury found that Abbott Laboratory’s best-selling drug, Humira, violated a patent on Johnson & Johnson's Remicade and awarded JnJ $1.67 billion (then approx. £1 billion), the largest patent infringement damages award ever. However, in February 2011 Abbott Laboratory succeeded in overturning the verdict. As of August 2011, the case continued.
