MISAPPROPRIATIONS OF TRADE SECRETS

BVA is experienced in measuring economic damages for disputes involving misappropriation or theft of trade secrets.  These matters may require computing the plaintiff's lost profits or defendant's unjust enrichment, including consideration of:

• The loss to plaintiff caused by the alleged wrongful conduct, calculated as lost profits.
• A reasonable royalty applicable to the trade secrets.
• The profits gained by defendant resulting from the alleged wrongful conduct.
• The costs avoided or saved by defendant resulting from its acquisition of the trade secrets.

BVA follows generally accepted methodologies and is intimately familiar with the nuances associated with measuring trade secret damages.  The financial models associated with such damages analyses can be extremely complicated and involve numerous issues such as apportionment, non-cause-of-action-factors, and estimating the "but-for" vs. actual scenarios.
