Experience

Renee has calculated economic damages incurred as a result of infringement and/or misappropriation of various intellectual property rights, including patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

Analyses have related to a variety of industries with concentrations in computer hardware and software, biotechnology devices, medical products, personal electronics, and consumer products.

In cases where royalties were at issue, Renee performed analyses related to the determination of a hypothetical royalty, including consideration of previous licensing arrangements, costs savings, profit improvement, apportionment issues, the presence of alternatives and other analytical methods. These analyses required review and determination of recorded and but-for revenues, costs, design around costs, profits, market share, market penetration rates, capital investment, contribution of the intellectual property to the product’s or company’s financial success, production efficiencies, product life cycle analysis, and competition.
