A Conversation with Victoria Cundiff (Yale Law School), Janice Ta (Partner, Perkins Coie), and Hong Qiao (Principal, Charles River Associates): How Economic Experts Can Shape the Ways Clients, Courts, and Juries Value IP and Affect Litigation Remedies
IP litigation is often driven by questions of who has the right to commercialize inventions.
IP strategy typically focuses on questions of how economic value can be derived and enhanced from particular inventions and innovations. Thoughtful businesses work with economists before and during litigation to make strategic business choices. In litigated matters, courts and factfinders often rely on economic experts to help assess the value of particular intellectual property and to consider the economic impact of claimed infringement or misappropriation. Janice Ta joins Victoria Cundiff and Hong Qiao in a discussion about the use of economic experts in IP litigation.
