Selected Case Studies/Notable Matters

• Refuted damage claims advanced by an aggrieved airline company asserting that delivery delays of an aircraft manufacturer caused damages in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
• Demonstrated that misappropriated (prohibited use outside license agreement) intellectual property was the lynchpin in the defendant’s business case for the development of a new drug.  We determined damages based on the economic advantage achieved by the misappropriation compared to de novo development of equivalent intellectual property.
• Analyzed merchant’s damage claims associated with assertions that card associations priced transactions that merchants were forced to accept at predatory levels.
• Proved the volume and value of disputed royalties due a Fortune 50 US-based global financial services firm by foreign financial institution licensees.
