Abstract: Although the U.S. Supreme Court has suggested that there may be constitutional limits on the size of punitive damages awards, an appropriate award generally depends on the defendant’s financial condition. Professional damages experts can help lawyers ask the right questions and present information in court that will bolster their case. This article shows how the plaintiff’s or defendant’s counsel can address issues such as who specifically is responsible for the alleged wrongdoing, how they profited from it, and their ability to pay.

Teleflex Inc (U.S. 2007) could diminish the value of some patents and their related revenues. Because it has implications for compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and certain accounting standards, some companies may require new patent valuations.
