Estimated economic recovery of potential patent infringement litigation

Estimated economic recovery of potential patent infringement litigation

Our private equity client provided capital to potential plaintiffs that were seeking litigation funding. Stout provided our client with certain financial due diligence analyses, including: market-share analyses, estimates of lost sales, estimates of incremental costs, and other analyses relevant to patent infringement matters. Our team provided insights into the likely royalty base and the defendant’s perspectives regarding the entire market value rule. We performed a quantitative and qualitative assessment of a range of potential royalty rates and assessed the impact of non-infringing alternatives. Our work was used to estimate the expected economic recovery associated with the potential patent litigation and allowed our client to better understand the risks associated with the investment opportunity.
