TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER IV.



  1. DAMAGES



  • The plaintiff should be restored, so far as money can do so, to
    the position he would have occupied if the infringement had not
    occurred. Difficulties in assessing such compensation should
    not deter the making of a substantial award



  1. PUNITIVE DAMAGES



  • Punitive damage punish flagrant conduct and deter future
    infringement



  1. ACCOUNT OF PROFITS

    from enriching himself at the plaintiff’s expense. In calculating
    gains, the court may have regard to any value the defendant has
    added to the plaintiff’s work
