CRA was retained by the market leader in a segment of the building materials industry to determine damages due to alleged patent infringement by the second largest player in this multi-supplier market. CRA’s team of expert consultants analyzed commercial success and developed complex lost profits models to address different product segments, multiple distribution channels, and regional supply/demand variations in this highly cyclical, capital-intensive industry.
