Jason Frankovitz

Director of Software Class Actions

Jason Frankovitz is a software engineering expert based in Los Angeles with over 30 years of experience. He has consulted on more than one hundred lawsuits, ranging from small private prosecutions to major class actions, and has testified under oath in more than thirty cases in the United States and Canada. He has worked for plaintiffs and defendants in federal, state, and international cases involving infringement of software patents, copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, and software programming best-practices. His specialties include open-source software like GNU/Linux, version control/release management, test-driven development, continuous integration and Internet & mobile programming.

Jason started college at the University of Southern California, but completed his degree at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. While working for campus computing services, Jason coded his first Web application: itList.com, one of the first Web-based bookmark sites on the Internet. After moving to the Boston area, Jason brought itList to Main Street Partners LLC, becoming Entrepreneur-in-Residence for Joe Hadzima of MIT. itList created significant prior art used in multiple patent cases.

Jason’s Internet startups used cutting-edge technologies like cloud-based server scaling and machine learning (AI). He is the inventor of patent 9,858,341, a system for targeting social media ads based on user-generated content. Jason’s background in social media and user-generated content has allowed him to consult on multiple class-action cases against Facebook, including the Illinois Biometric Protection Act of 2008 (BIPA) lawsuit.

Client Testimonials
There aren’t a lot of things in life that bring me unbridled joy, but this expert report literally has me giddy. Incredible work.
Jessica Miller Gunner Law Firm
I was involved in a case through my department, and my attorney and I hired Jason Frankovitz as an expert witness to my case. Jason was very professional and extraordinarily helpful. He made himself readily available to my representative any time we needed him and he explained, in great detail, what he could do to assist us in my case. He broke down his process and created a presentation that he used to testify in front of my supervisors during my hearings to help them understand the complexity of the technology under scrutiny in my case. Thanks to Jason, I was able to keep my position at my place of employment. If you are looking for a tech expert, Jason Frankovitz is who you have to hire, as he will go above and beyond to assist you with all of your needs. He truly is an expert.
Noelle Rodriguez California Law Enforcement Officer
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Jason Frankovitz on a very large matter that is headed toward a multi-week trial. Jason is a highly skilled, intelligent and creative expert in social media technology and theory. His deep breadth of experience quickly shows upon meeting him. His creative ideas on how to present issues to the Court are top notch. He served as an excellent witness providing persuasive and compelling testimony on a number of issues that the Court ended up relying on. I highly recommend Jason and his team at Quandary Peak.
Tim Rozelle California Attorney
I wanted to send you a note about the excellent service my client received from Mr. Frankovitz. In an incredibly short period of time he synthesized, digested and responded to the computer program issues that were at the heart of the lawsuit. His work was thorough, well written and insightful. I believe that his contribution to our brief was a significant factor in our ability to obtain a successful settlement of our case. I will not hesitate to retain your company again when the need arises.
Richard California Attorney
We have been amazed with Jason’s expertise, skills, demeanor, and service in this case so far. You are fortunate to have him on your staff.
Jon California Attorney
I thought your testimony was excellent. Thank you for being so flexible, and thanks for delivering such concise testimony. It was a really strong way to end the arbitration.
Steven Idaho Attorney
Through his vast social media acumen, Jason almost single-handedly eliminated the access element in a multi-million dollar copyright case, resulting in a walkaway by the Plaintiffs and their counsel.
Edward California Attorney
Jason Frankovitz came highly recommended and I had the good fortune to be able to work with him recently in a rather complicated matter. His knowledge and manner assisted greatly in assuring myself and our client that we were in good hands with respect to responding to the claims from an expert's standpoint and preparing our defense. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jason and Quandary Peak Research to others.
Eileen Booth
I just finished working with Jason Frankovitz in a complex software and search engine optimization case. He's insightful and has a talent for explaining technical concepts and issues in a way that judges and jurors understand. He's also incredibly reliable. I highly recommend him.
Joshua Glikin Maryland Attorney
I would like to thank you for the wonderful expert testimony you provided on our software/website case resulting in a $3,056,000 verdict for our client... You provided crucial questions to be asked of defendants and their experts that made a big difference at the time of trial. Above all, time and time again you were able to clarify and explain technical issues for me that prepared me well for trial.
Paul California Attorney
Your review of the evidence led to a discovery that was a surprise to all and your testimony was presented in a manner that even the most untrained person in computer science could understand. Most importantly was the ease in which you responded to some unexpected questions.
Stewart New York Attorney
We thought you were very effective... one of the tech jurors I told you about was aloof for most of the witnesses, but he really picked up when you were testifying and actually looked at you. Normally he just stares into space... you were well prepared before taking the stand. We would definitely use you and Quandary Peak Research again for tech matters.
John California Attorney
Jason Frankovitz is a top IT professional. I was impressed how quickly he came to understand the rather complicated situation my client was facing. His testimony at trial was clear and concise and, as indicated by the jury post-verdict, he connected with them very well. I would definitely use him again in my next case.
Yosef Peretz and Associates
Jason Frankovitz jumped in to help us on a complicated, technical and time-sensitive issue. He was able to assimilate a vast amount of conflicting information in a very short time frame and provided competent and compelling opinions for our case. Jason always made himself available to help us prepare for hearings and depositions, and I was particularly impressed with Jason’s attention to detail.
Wilson The Rodriguez Firm, P.C.
Recently, I spoke with one of the jurors from our panel. He stated that he thought you were fantastic and that the way you explained the issues to them made them understand the problems with defendants’ process of making the faulty website for our client. They chose to ignore the defense expert’s testimony because you were by far more credible, knowledgeable and prepared.
Paul California Attorney
I just wanted to commend Jason... he did an excellent job of making fairly technical and complex information understandable by those of us not especially tech-savvy. His graphic evidence was helpful, and he thoughtfully answered every question asked of him. I will definitely recommend Jason for future hearings when these sorts of issues arise.
Sherry California Attorney
