Profits Proffer.
April 24, 2014The plaintiff in Sanders v. Flanders alleged legal malpractice arising from the handling of patent applications. The Fifth Circuit did not engage the question whether he had shown lost profits with reasonable certainty, noting: “[C]ounsel admitted during oral argument that [Plaintiff] did not make any offer of proof concerning the lost-profit evidence that he would have otherwise presented but for the district court’s hearsay ruling.” No. 13-50235 (April 22, 2014, unpublished).
