In the pharmaceutical industry—where the cost of innovation can exceed hundreds of millions of dollars for a single drug—details of ingredients and formulations, manufacturing processes and equipment, and marketing strategies are highly guarded trade secrets. Yet in the modern digital environment, access to trade secrets may be only a click away.
Primary Case Issue
Our client represented a pharmaceutical company intending to produce, market, and distribute a biosimilar. Another company accused them of developing their product through intelligence stolen by an insider who collected digital files related to proprietary drug development. Therefore, our client sought an expert who could recover deleted files and data from computers that had been reformatted to determine whether files had been improperly transferred or copied.
Expert Witness Requirements
- Expertise in digital forensics
- Experience recovering data from reformatted drives
- Previous experience testifying at trial preferred
