Senior Testifying Expert

Jason Frankovitz

Director of Software Class Actions

Jason Frankovitz is a software engineering expert based in Los Angeles with over 25 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 over twenty-five times 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.
