Calculating Patent Damages

This course explores the high-stakes world of patent assertion, where damages claims can reach tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. It provides a practical review of key patent infringement damages doctrines and examines creative theories used to build strong damages arguments, including lost profits, price erosion, apportionment, FRAND damages, market spoilage, running royalties, design-around costs, and the Georgia-Pacific factors. The course also discusses major court rulings such as Panduit, Uniloc, Halo, Exmark, and Cornell University, giving participants a deeper understanding of how courts evaluate patent damages and how those principles apply in complex litigation.
