Legal Question in Business Law in California

Re: intellectual property

Some intellectual property violations entitle the plaintiff to treble damages. If you are uncertain as to the amount of damages, you can plead that they are "subject to proof at trial but in excess of the minimum jurisdiction of this court" and worry about the numbers later. The treble damages request must be specifically plead if it applies, which would be based on specific statutes. I am unable to determine from the facts presented in your post whether you are entitled to these damages without further information.
