Our software experts perform source code review and explain how the code works. We author expert reports supporting specific conclusions with technical evidence.
We provide software expert witness testimony and consulting. We’re specialized in software IP litigation including: patent infringement, copyright infringement, and trade secret misappropriation.
An effective software expert witness must understand the legal issues in question. Software patents are legal documents, not engineering documents, and many engineers find them baffling…but we don’t.

We investigate who is to blame for software development failures that result in breach-of-contract lawsuits.
We frequently serve as testifying experts, and we also help outside software experts prepare for deposition and trial.

Our internet and web experts have direct experience with a number of technologies including Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, SQL, and .NET, just to name a few. We are particularly knowledgeable in rich Internet applications and websites with complex back-end functionality.
Our phone experts have a deep understanding of today’s top mobile platforms including Android, iOS and iPhone, Windows Phone 8, BlackBerry, Brew, and more. We have proven results serving as patent infringement litigation consultants for top legal firms and multinational companies on cell phone patents.
