Please join SFIPLA and its panelists Dan Werner (NERA Economic Consulting) and Paul Benson (Duff & Phelps) as we discuss some of the latest trends and issues in damages methodologies in patent and Lanham Act cases. The panel will focus on the current state of apportionment and foreign damages for patent infringement matters, false advertising under the Lanham Act, as well as discuss pros and cons of certain damages methodologies.
