actual damages

Voorbeeldzinnen

1. As an alternative, for example where it would be difficult to determine the amount of the actual prejudice suffered, the amount of the damages might be derived from elements such as the royalties or fees which would have been due if the infringer had requested authorisation to use the intellectual property right in question. The aim is not to introduce an obligation to provide for punitive damages but to allow for compensation based on an objective criterion while taking account of the expenses incurred by the rightholder, such as the costs of identification and research.
2. In those circumstances, the judgment of the Court of Appeal of Rouen confirmed the judgment of the Evreux labour court and thus ordered the company Aspocomp Group Oyj, which had 99 % control of the management of its subsidiary, to pay: (i) the employees affected by the company-level agreement, the entire compensation and additional payments provided for in that agreement alone, as well as damages for redundancy without actual and serious basis and (ii) the employees laid off under the voluntary liquidation of Aspocomp equivalent payments given that, by not meeting the commitments made, the parent company had acted unfairly and in a culpably thoughtless manner.
