KW Economics provides intellectual property damages analysis for cases venued in Spearfish, South Dakota. Patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret damages, measured claim by claim, rest on the parties' own sales, cost, and license records and on licenses and market data chosen for the technology and the accused products rather than for the city, so for a business based in Spearfish, Spearfish-area conditions enter only where the market for the accused product is local. Each royalty input, apportionment step, and sales figure is documented so the measure can be tested at deposition. Patent and copyright claims involving a business in Spearfish are heard only in federal court, usually together with the related claims under South Dakota law; a license or royalty dispute brought on its own is typically heard in the Circuit Court sitting in Lawrence County. Deposition and trial testimony are available for Spearfish matters, in person or by remote appearance where the forum allows.
An appeal in a patent case goes to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from every federal district court, so its damages decisions govern a patent case involving a business in Spearfish wherever the case is filed; appeals in copyright, trademark, and trade secret cases go to the regional court of appeals for the district that heard them.
