Abstract
This essay reviews the jurisprudential orientations on compensation for damages for infringement of industrial property rights, making particular reference to the criteria for quantifying damages contemplated by Article 125 c.p.i. Although critical issues still open in the effective application of the cited provision have been found, the picture emerging from this review is that compensation for infringement damages performs no longer and not only a reparatory function for the damages suffered by the right holder, but also a clear deterrent and in some respects a punitive function. Thus, it has been ascertained that the introduction of Article 125 c.p.i. and its application by case law have enabled those who have suffered an infringement of an industrial property right to obtain the recognition of very significant damage compensations in line with best practices at the European level.
