Intellectual Property Expert Witness services in software-related litigation -  We consult with attorneys and their clients as a Technical Expert on issues relating to Computer Science.  We bring comprehensive experience in software and systems, and skills in analysis and technical presentation, that assists attorneys in litigation covering software and technology issues such as patent and copyright infringement, digital rights management, trademark and trade secrets,  and contractual compliance.   We can serve as neutral technical advisors to the Court or Special Masters.
Patent Analysis Intellectual Property Analytics - IPriori provides 'PatFacts' reports and graphs depicting patent and IP litigation intelligence to attorneys, IP portfolio managers, researchers and the press.  The data comes from the EPRIORI® knowledgebase - a comprehensive integration of IP data from many channels, including docket, patents-in-suit, reexaminations, appeals, claim construction thesaurus, auction results, prior art, documents -- and more -- providing unique analytical views of IP activity.  An earlier version of the knowledgebase was licensed to Stanford Law School's IP Litigation Clearinghouse.
Source Code Review - We can analyze software code to determine its functionality. The code may be in any number of languages such as C, C++, X-Code, Java or assemblers. The next step usually involves a comparison--- with patent claims or disclosure--- or with other software. Finally, we prepare an expert report, or testify in the form of declaration, deposition or at trial. Alternatively, we convey that knowledge to attorneys, the Court or other testifying experts if the situation warrants.
