Question:
Quickcopter, a helicopter manufacturer, has contracted your intellectual property firm for assistance in filing a statement of claim against its competitor Boss Helicopter (Boss). Quickcopter alleges that Boss has copied its patented design for a helicopter landing gear. Boss has produced 21 units that allegedly infringe Quickcopter's patent. The invention is intended for light helicopters and is composed of two skids, each of which has longitudinal ground support assurance and is connected to a front crosspiece and a rear crosspiece, which are themselves attached to the aircraft by connecting devices. Quickcopter believes that Boss should have known about the existence of its patent, given that Boss is a sophisticated corporate entity that employs thousands of engineers and highly skilled personnel. Assuming the court finds in favour of Quickcopter, explain what remedies it should ask the court to impose against Boss. Indicate what additional information, if any, the court would consider when deciding which remedies to impose.
