How can you protect your highly technical products from intellectual property infringement?
For decades, Exponent has led the way in engineering and scientific intellectual property consulting, presenting findings via documented reports and oral testimony as expert witnesses. Our worldwide, multidisciplinary team provides unparalleled engineering and scientific insights for a range of complex cases. Through thorough examinations, we deliver rigorous analyses for ITC section 337 investigations and district and state court IP cases involving electrical engineering and computer science inventions. Our examinations include tear downs or reverse engineering of products and review of prior art from the perspective of persons of ordinary skill in the art.
Exponent's electrical engineering and computer science consultants can assist in source code and object code evaluation to form opinions on software copyright and patent infringement. We have experience applying abstraction-filtration-comparison tests and evaluating whether merger and scènes à faire doctrines are applicable, and we have wide-ranging expertise in technologies enabling digital rights management and technical aspects of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
