Client issue 

Following the expiration of a patent license between two leading telecommunications firms, the parties disputed the royalty rate that should apply going forward. The matter proceeded to an international arbitration tribunal, where the three-member panel considered fact and expert testimony. 

CRA approach 

Chris Bakewell provided expert testimony on the value of the licensed technology and the royalty rate.   

Client impact 

The panel awarded the royalty rate that Chris testified was appropriate, saving the client millions of dollars versus the competing damages and quantum opinion.
