I'm sure district judges everywhere appreciate that they will now (if they weren't) get another mailed-in post-trial/pre-verdict motion that they have to consider and reject solely for the purposes of the Federal Circuit's willingness to review the damages verdict more carefully if such a motion is filed before, rather than after, damages are awarded by the jury.
