Trademarks are symbols, phrases, designs or emblems that are recognizable and may be used in bolstering a company’s brand. You may see them on products, in advertising, on signage, or letterhead. Falsely using a trademark or counterfeiting an established trademark is against the law. We work for plaintiffs or defendants on trademark infringement matters to calculate actual damages or disgorgement damages. This can be a lengthy and complicated process. We understand these complications and lend our expertise to the litigation team to assist in identifying the correct damages owed. Trademark infringement damages >>>
Patents are granted by a government authority conferring a right or title for a set period of time to make, use, or sell an invention incorporating the patent. There are a number of instances where entities will attempt to use, market or sell an item, process or material without receiving permission to do so. This is called patent infringement and is against the law. The owners of these rights may lose sales, market share and/or potential royalties. In these instances, whether you are the plaintiff or defendant in a patent infringement matter, it is important to seek professional patent services and the counsel of an expert well versed in this area. Due to the complexity of this area, receiving assistance from an experienced patent damages expert is key. Patent damages >>>

We work with attorneys, serving as expert witnesses to provide background on copyright infringement. The U.S. Copyright office provides copyright protection to those who create different original works, such as software, musical works, sound recordings, paintings, photographs and other items of value. A copyright gives the owner exclusive rights of use. Once this has been violated, we work with either plaintiffs or defendants in analyzing and determining the amount of damages that may have resulted from infringement. Copyright damages >>>
Businesses often create intangible assets that are not protectable under a form of intellectual property, i.e., patent, trademark, or copyright. These intangible assets are referred to as trade secrets. A trade secret is a formula, practice, process, design, instrument, pattern, commercial method, or compilation of information not generally known or reasonably ascertainable by others by which a business can obtain an economic advantage over competitors. Since these trade secrets can be valuable, companies and individuals steal these assets and use them for their own benefit. We work with both plaintiffs and defendants in identifying the economic damages associated with these misappropriations.
