Intellectual Property

We are leaders in the field of intellectual property litigation, and it is a major focus of our work. We consult on a broad range of patent, copyright, and trademark actions, and have worked on more than 150 patent lawsuits around the country, in venues such as Eastern District of Texas, Northern and Central Districts in California, and Delaware.

We have a considerable track record helping trial teams achieve favorable verdicts in patent trials, especially when we are retained end-to-end to conduct mock trial research, prepare witnesses, advise on trial strategy, and assist with jury selection.

We place special emphasis on working with witnesses in these cases to prepare them for testifying at deposition and trial. We assist corporate representatives in developing  strong company stories that provide important subtext for the jurors. We also specialize in working with highly technical witnesses like inventors and experts to help them communicate complex issues and become better teachers of the technology.

We routinely work with foreign witnesses, from China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Germany, France, Australia, the U.K. and other countries to help them understand the climate of American courtrooms and traverse cross-cultural boundaries to communicate clearly and effectively.
