Damages analysis associated with theft of technology and trade secrets

For a leading US manufacturer of chemicals, adhesives, tape, and label products that had been the victim of a concerted program of industrial espionage by a foreign competitor, a current Brattle principal quantified the economic damages resulting from the theft of technology and trade secret information, offering testimony both in the sentencing hearing of the criminal case of a defendant executive convicted of economic espionage, and in the civil lawsuit filed by the U.S. company seeking redress for damages suffered as a result of the theft. The jury in the civil trial awarded $60 million in damages based on this testimony.
