Intellectual Property Consulting

Our consultants combine elite academic credentials with hands-on experience, including in over 500 IP-related disputes. Our work spans litigation, strategy, and technical demonstrations. Our blend of technical depth, creativity, and litigation fluency distinguishes us from typical experts. For example, we’ve built trial demonstrations, such as installing the Doom video game on a medical device to prove it is a general-purpose computer, and configured multiple networked decades-old computers with different operating systems as prior art.
