What Constitutes a Breach?

Late, poor, or non-performance; misuse of confidential/IP; wrongful termination; failure to pay.

Milestone-Driven Disputes We See in San Diego

• SOW milestones slipped, jeopardizing FDA/DoD deadlines

• Nonpayment tied to acceptance of prototypes or data sets

• NDA breaches during validation or trials

• Termination before minimum-term complete in SaaS deals

Remedies & Our Approach

• Expectation / consequential damages (lost grant, delay costs)

• Specific performance for unique IP/data handover

• Enforceable liquidated damages if reasonable
