Why The Valuation Group

Reasonable royalty damages require analysis of the economic value of the intellectual property, the rights at issue, the royalty base, the appropriate royalty rate, the market context, available alternatives, licensing history, apportionment, expected profit, and the commercial benefit associated with use of the asset.

Our work combines valuation, royalty analysis, damages experience, and litigation support discipline in matters where royalty-based damages must be measured, reviewed, negotiated, or challenged.

Reasonable Royalty Analysis

We analyze reasonable royalty damages involving patents, trademarks, trade secrets, technology, software, brands, and other intangible assets.

Our analysis may address the hypothetical negotiation, royalty rate, royalty base, apportionment, licensing terms, comparable agreements where available, alternatives to the intellectual property, profitability, market conditions, useful life, and the economic contribution of the disputed asset.

Patent, Trademark, and Trade Secret Damages

Intellectual property disputes may involve different forms of economic harm depending on the asset, the alleged conduct, and the legal theory.

The Valuation Group provides damages analysis for patent infringement claims, trademark disputes, trade secret misappropriation, unauthorized use of technology, licensing disputes, and related commercial claims involving intangible assets.

Apportionment and Royalty Base Analysis

Royalty damages often turn on the portion of revenue, profit, product value, or business value attributable to the intellectual property at issue.

We analyze the economic contribution of the claimed feature, technology, brand, process, or proprietary information and evaluate whether the royalty base and damages model are tied to the financial evidence.

Review of Opposing Royalty Damages Claims

We review opposing expert opinions involving reasonable royalty damages, lost profits, disgorgement, unjust enrichment, apportionment, royalty rates, royalty bases, licensing assumptions, and damages schedules.

Our work helps counsel identify unsupported assumptions, methodological issues, weak apportionment, inconsistent licensing evidence, and areas requiring rebuttal or further discovery.
