question about a sentence
hello, guys!
i've got a question about this paragraph..
The CCIA bases its argument for apportionment on the question of what the proper "article of manufacture" should be with respect to which a disgorgement of profits can be sought.
1) Does this mean the CCIA used its argument for supporting apportionment ?
2) then, what does the part "on the question of what the proper~sought" modify?
i'm trying.... but it's so confusing
thanks in advance.
