两者都是在诉讼中常常会提到的damages损害赔偿：

damages源于拉丁文「damnum」，意指一方当事人的行为致另一方当事人的人身、财产或权益受损害，从而由前者向后者支付的用以作为赔偿或补偿的金钱。该词可用于指因侵权行为或违约行为而支付的损害赔偿。

且两者均具有返还性赔偿的意思，其具体区别如下：

disgorgement damages获利返还赔偿

Disgorgement damages should be available where a defendant has deliberately breached a contract to make a profit but the amount of the profit of which the defendant should be stripped should only be that which directly relates to the breach.

disgorgement damages获利返还赔偿是指行为人侵害他人的合法权益并以此获利，被侵权人可以要求返还该等获利。

我国于侵权责任法中首次引入了获利返还制度，侵权责任法第20条规定：“侵害他人人身权益造成财产损失的，按照被侵权人因此受到的损失赔偿；被侵权人的损失难以确定，侵权人因此获得利益的，按照其获得的利益赔偿。”我国民法典于侵权责任编中延续了获利返还的规定，其第1182条载明：“侵害他人人身权益造成财产损失的，按照被侵权人因此受到的损失或者侵权人因此获得的利益赔偿；被侵权人因此受到的损失提起诉讼的，由人民法院根据实际情况确定赔偿数额。”

restitutionary damages

restitutionary damages多直接译为返还性损害赔偿。也是指侵权人应向被侵权人返还利润。

Damages which aim to strip from a wrongdoer gains made by committing a wrong or breaching a contract. The benefit gained by the wrongdoer may exceed the detriment or loss to the person wronged.

但disgorgement damages和restitutionary damages之间的主要区别则在于前者返还的是侵权人因其侵权行为而遭受的损害，而后者返还的是被侵权人因侵权行为而遭受的损失。

Disgorgement asks how much did the wrongdoer gain as a result of his illegal conduct, while restitution asks how much were the victims harmed by the conduct.

以下为相关双语示例，供参考：

AAA does not support its assertions with any citations to the record in this case. BBB does not dispute that the products AAA identifies did not factor into the jury’s damages award (or the Court’s ultimate disgorgement award). But BBB notes that the Defend Trade Secrets Act allows for reasonable royalties on AAA’s ongoing use of BBB’s trade secrets and does not limit the royalty to products for which BBB was compensated for AAA’s past sales.

根据在案记录，AAA未援引任何案例证明其所述主张。BBB不否认AAA指出的产品没有纳入陪审团的损害赔偿裁决（或法院的最终获益性返还赔偿裁决），但指出，《商业秘密保护法》允许判令AAA就其对BBB商业秘密的持续使用支付合理使用费，而未将许可费的适用范围限制在BBB因AAA过去销售而获赔偿所涉产品。
