Question juridique clé
Whether the defendant proved lost-profit damages from the plaintiff's use of the sign 'Comcord' and competing conduct.
Solution extraite
Lost-profit damages were not proven because the defendant did not show that he would probably have been able to generate the claimed sales or profits absent the infringement.
Motifs extraits
The court held that compensation for lost profits requires a sufficiently probable causal link and proof that the claimant could realistically have earned the alleged profit. The defendant had no concrete market activity, the business plan and offers were insufficient, and a market entry by him was deemed unlikely.
