Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University v. Interactive Return Service, Inc.
Supreme Court of Virginia
Decided April 23, 2004No. Record 030965PublishedCited by 27 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Kinser
The primary question in this appeal is whether a reasonably prudent person in the position of the contracting parties would have considered the type of damages claimed in this case to be the natural consequence of a breach of certain agreements dealing with the assignment of intellectual property rights. Answering that question affirmatively, we conclude that the circuit court did not err by admitting evidence of consequential damages. We also conclude that the circuit court did not err in instructing the jury on the issue of waiver.
