Patent infringement
Patent infringement is the act of utilizing a patented invention without permission from the patent holder. Permission may typically be granted in the form of a licence, sometimes where a CPA has been involved in setting up an arrangement for payment.

Expert testimony about a financial, business, or professional issue given by a person qualified to testify, such as a CPA, because of familiarity with the subject or special training in the field. Expert testimony would be performed by a CPA expert witness in cases such as this.
Business interruption
A business that has to close down completely while the premises are being repaired due to a business interruption may lose out to competitors. A quick resumption of business after a disaster is essential. A CPA can help prepare you for a business interruption as well as helping you prepare for the correct amount of insurance. If you were involved in a business liquidation, a CPA would be a valuable asset and he could function as an insolvency accountant, if the need arises. An insolvency accountant is usually a CPA and can function in either a business interruption situation or in a business liquidation. There have also been cases where a personal injury claim calculation is needed to satisfy any partnership disputes. These partnership disputes which need a personal injury claim calculation are best handled by a CPA, especially in a business interruption situation.
