november 19 Economic Damages Commercial damages occur in breach-of-contract and business-tort cases that result in claims of lost profits or diminished business goodwill or business value. Intellectual-property-infringement cases and antitrust cases also can involve such loss claims. The measurement of damages in these types of case follows a basic methodology, with some variations in intellectual-property matters. Measurement of damages in securities-fraud cases uses a different approach. Since proof of damages is a frequent issue in civil litigation, forensic experts in all disciplines can benefit from an understanding of damages analysis. Speaker: Jules H.
