Graham v. Haughey: Prejudgment Interest Granted on Old "Secret" Infringements

What happens when you in 2005 for infringements that you didn't know about running from 1992 through 2004? Usually, the three-year statute of limitations of the Copyright Act will preclude you from a remedy.  17 USC 507(b).  But what if the infringements were secret and concealed from you as a trade secret?

I wrote about the Graham v Haughey case here . End result, infringer whacked for 20 million clams.

But do you get prejudgment interest? Another $4.2 million smackers, the May 12 decision below.  The $20 million judgment below that.
