How We Help
StoneTurn quantifies economic damages, delivers expert testimony and provides intellectual asset valuation services:
Quantify
Damages Assessments and Quantification
We are retained to assist counsel and clients in their development or assessment of claims either prior to or during litigation, through thoughtful evaluation of ranges of possible economic damages specific to each matter.
We have also been designated as experts across the U.S., and have addressed the entire range of damage categories, including lost profits, reasonable royalties, price erosion, unjust enrichment and consequential impacts.
Licensing and Royalty Compliance
We are regularly retained by clients to assist in conducting or defending licensing and royalty compliance activities. We work with counsel and clients to review license agreements, understand and apply the relevant royalty computation, payment, and reporting requirements of the license, request and review responsive documents related to the license, and interview personnel to understand how the license requirements were interpreted and applied. We have worked for licensors, licensees, and as neutral license and royalty compliance assessors.
Testify
Expert Witness Testimony
We have been designated as expert witness testifiers in federal district and state courts across the U.S., as well as in arbitration proceedings.
Valuation
Due Diligence for M&A and Lending Transactions
We are regularly engaged by clients to provide Intellectual Property valuation analyses in connection with various strategic and tactical management-led initiatives. We use generally accepted approaches published by the AICPA, ASA, NACVA and other valuation reporting and credentialing organizations.
Intellectual Property Valuation and Strategy
We regularly assist clients in developing economic analyses to support potential acquisitions or sales of intellectual property through industry, market, buyer, and seller research, as well as research on relevant third-party transactions using public and proprietary databases.
Licensing Consulting
We regularly assist clients in developing economic analyses to support proposed royalties for licenses outside of litigation and in settlement of infringement disputes. We have participated in licensing negotiations, and supported licensing negotiation participants, working closely with outside counsel, in-house counsel and client business personnel. We also assist with intellectual asset management and commercialization.
