Managing IP Quotes Akin Gump IP Partner Michael Kahn on Trade Secret Damages
Contact:
Akin Gump intellectual property partner Michael Kahn was quoted by Managing IP for its article “How US counsel win and strike down large trade secret damages.”
The article notes that trade secret litigators say that lawyers can win large damages awards if they wisely choose their damages theories and tell compelling stories.
Kahn, whose practice focus is patent infringement and trade secret litigation in district courts across the U.S., said that he has seen counsel attempt to make damages theories fit their cases in hopes of getting more money. He noted that this approach is often a mistake because it is the facts of the case that will dictate which strategy makes the most sense.
