Collectively, our team has successfully directed more than 23,500 expert witness search opportunities, with over 10,000 involving intellectual property.
Below are examples of the accuracy and expediency Teklicon offered in IP cases, and why IMS is pleased to combine forces to offer an even higher level of client service when the perfect technology expert witness is a must.
Expertise Needed: Graphical User Interface
We responded expeditiously to a client’s urgent request for a GUI expert.
Time was of the essence for a global law firm after an unsuccessful search left them with an expert witness who was not a perfect fit for their case. They turned to us for help.
The Challenge
The client reached out, stating that their case required a candidate as soon as possible with expertise in graphical user interface (GUI) technology and expert witness experience. In particular, they were looking for an expert who had attained their master’s degree no later than 2002.
The Solution
With this information, our technology expert witness team was able to identify a list of potential candidates within an hour of receiving the requisite information from the attorneys. We presented three qualified PhDs within twenty-four hours of beginning our expert search and secured interviews within forty-eight hours. After the interviews, the attorneys commented positively about our speed and accuracy in addressing their IP expert witness needs.
The Outcome
The client won a limited exclusion order against the respondents.
Expertise Needed: Cardiac Stents
Recognizing the upward trend in litigation involving medical devices, we have strategically built our network of expert witness candidates to proactively meet our clients' needs.
When they need an expert for a patent infringement case, our intellectual property clients know us as the best source for tech-savvy, real-time industry leaders who are at the forefront of biotechnology.
The Challenge
A boutique law firm representing a patent portfolio company approached us seeking an experienced expert specializing in cardiac stents. We had previously worked with the firm for a drug commercialization client and provided two experts who were retained. Both experts’ outstanding performances on the previous case built the firm’s confidence in our ability to find qualified medical device experts in this instance.
The Solution
We presented three experts, all of whom possessed extensive experience with cardiac stents and medical devices. The law firm interviewed two of these candidates and retained one with a PhD in metallurgy, materials science, and biomaterials, and expertise in surgically implanted stents.
The Outcome
This matter was a win for the client. Three of the patents were found to be valid at the PTAB level, and the underlying patent case was settled in their favor.
Expertise Needed: Microprocessor Technology
We sourced, vetted, and placed multiple IP expert witnesses with a top-tier client.
Computer technology is one area where we have a deep bench of highly capable expert candidates. Key members of our technology expert witness team have worked in various tech industries, ensuring that we can anticipate what our clients are looking for in terms of skills and expertise.
The Challenge
One of the largest A-list law firms in the world, representing a leading name in computer technology, approached us with a high-stakes case involving more than a dozen patents related to advanced microprocessor technology. The client required multiple technology experts with testifying experience to evaluate different sets of patents.
The Solution
We presented six candidates, all PhD-level experts with industry and academic experience. After multiple rounds of interviews and vetting, the attorneys retained three of the six experts.
The Outcome
The client was thrilled with a decisive win. The lawsuit involved twelve patents, and the client won on all twelve. Several patents were won at summary judgment for non-infringement, and the opposing side quickly settled the remaining disputes.
