Intellectual Property Damages
Overview
We quantify damages arising from allegations of violations of intellectual property protection laws. Our cases include patent infringement allegations as well as Lanham Act violations such as trademark infringement and misappropriation of trade secrets.
Intellectual property damages can also arise under other legal contexts such as attorney malpractice or breach of license agreement.
