Intellectual Property

When intellectual property (IP) rights have been infringed, it’s necessary to assess the economic impact of the alleged infringement.

Whether on behalf of the IP owner or the alleged infringer, MDD’s forensic accountants have the training and experience required to accurately assess financial remedies in disputes related to patent, trade secrets, trademark and copyright infringement.
