Business and Intellectual Property Damages Workshop
Program Sponsor: The Financial Forensics Institute

Program 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. Note: Two video courses, entitled “Statistical
Analysis” and “Economic Theory and Modeling” are required to be completed prior to attending the program.
