Content
The Business and Intellectual Property Damages Workshop is
an intensive five-day program focusing upon the legal foundations,
methodology, best practices, and current trends in business damages and
infringement of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual
property. The course is based on Nancy Fannon’s Comprehensive Guide
to Lost Profits, the preeminent book in the industry on business
damages, as well as Intellectual Property, Valuation, Exploitation,
and Infringement Damages by Gordon V. Smith and Russell L. Parr,
both of which are included in the cost of registration (a retail value
of over $600). Through case analysis, participants will have the
opportunity to identify and apply the most appropriate methodology in
analysis and formulation of damages opinions from the perspectives of
both plaintiff and defendant. Participants will learn how to build their
damages analysis in a manner that will withstand the most rigorous
challenges.
