otherwise would not have achieved.
To decide the amount of any unjust enrichment, first determine the value
of [name of defendant]’s benefit that would not have been achieved except
for [his/her/ nonbinary pronoun/its] misappropriation. Then subtract from
that amount [name of defendant]’s reasonable expenses[, including the
value of the [specify categories of expenses in evidence, such as labor ,
materials, rents, interest on invested capital]]. [In calculating the amount of
any unjust enrichment, do not take into account any amount that you
