Where reliable documentary evidence of defendants' infringing sales exists the court may attribute a proportion of those sales to the plaintiff as lost profits subject to a discount for other factors; price reduction and reputational loss are compensable; additional damages may be awarded (here 10%) for flagrancy and profit gained by infringement; apply common‑sense in causation and quantify by reference to defendants' records with fair discounts.
