Technology Expert Witnesses
Technology disputes in complex commercial litigation span an especially broad range of industries, arising whenever a company alleges that a competitor's technology infringes a patent, that a technology vendor's product failed to meet contractual specifications, or that a technology-related business decision fell short of industry standards. These disputes surface in patent infringement litigation covering technologies from artificial intelligence to composite materials, in technology licensing and vendor disputes over whether a delivered system or product met agreed specifications, and in technology due diligence disputes arising from mergers, acquisitions, and venture investments where a target company's technology claims are contested. Because technology spans so many distinct engineering and scientific disciplines, determining whether a specific technology functions, was developed, or was licensed as claimed requires an expert with hands-on experience in that exact technology area. The central issue is typically whether the technology's actual function, development, or licensed use matches what the patent, contract, or transactional representation described.
A technology expert helps attorneys resolve that question by examining the technology's design, development records, and performance data against the patent claims, contractual specifications, or transactional representations at issue. That might mean comparing an accused product's technical architecture against a patent's claim elements, evaluating whether a delivered technology system met the functional specifications in its development or licensing contract, or assessing whether a target company's technology claims were supported by its actual development records in a due diligence dispute. These technical findings support positions on infringement, breach of contract, and misrepresentation, and often anticipate the arguments an opposing technical expert is likely to raise.
Because technology spans such a wide range of disciplines, from artificial intelligence and computer science to composite materials and electronic commerce, selecting the right expert means matching the assignment to someone with hands-on experience in the specific technology at issue rather than technology in general terms. Round Table Group's technology network includes scholars and industry professionals whose expertise spans computer science, materials engineering, and emerging technology fields, many of whom are prolific authors and lecturers. With more than 75,000 expert searches completed for litigators, we help attorneys narrow that broad technical field to the individual expert whose credentials fit the specific dispute. Let us help you find the right technology expert for your case by calling us at (202) 908-4500.

Your expert’s credibility must withstand scrutiny. They can have all the degrees, publications and talks in the world and still fold under pressure, blowing up your case during deposition or trial.
There is a dance involved in report writing. Experts need enough time and information to create excellent reports; attorneys often want to review the reports, but need to be cognizant that any change requests not impact the expert’s opinion or voice; and in the background confidentiality and discovery lurk over all the communication, with rules dependent on the given jurisdiction.
When searching for an expert witness, creating the match between case requirements and personalities is a complicated process with a bit of art mixed in.
2023 will undoubtedly be an interesting year for litigation. As we are further removed from the pandemic and technology continues to advance, the trends that emerge now will impact the industry for years to come.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought about an influx of patent related litigation. Experts postulate that both the financial pressures related to the pandemic and the increasing strength of the technology sector sparked this increase in litigation. Now, almost two years after the start of the pandemic, this surge continues and could be considered a new normal.
In an increasingly connected and digitized world, 5G is emerging as a driving force for innovation across industries such as medical technology (MedTech). As we are now in the early stages of the development and deployment of 5G technology, companies and legal teams in this space should be acquainting themselves with the specifics of 5g licensing, as it raises concerns about intellectual property litigation.
This article discusses what ‘winning’ and ‘losing’ looks like for a non-partisan expert, how that differs from how attorneys win and lose, why non-partisan experts can succeed against partisan experts, common business practices that affect an expert’s success, and preparing for testimony.
It is essential for experts to be believable and easily understood. What I know, how I know it, and what it means to me is my mantra for providing value as an expert.
While the role of an expert witness remains unchanged, the shift toward virtual operations requires a nuanced approach to preparation, as many experts, attorneys, and judges are still new to this change in litigation procedures and techniques.
The semiconductor chip shortage is starting to be felt by consumers, from automobile parts to smart phones. This is likely to lead to a plethora of disputes and litigations in the coming years.
NFTs hold the power to improve processes associated with securing, selling, and licensing patents. However, NFTs could also result in litigation should owners of an NFT infringe on trademarks or copyrights.
With an eye towards the future, let us explore some of the areas in which we are seeing commercial product development activity using metamaterials. These product areas are currently seeing an uptick in the filing and buying of patents, which tends to serve as a good precursor to litigation.

Questions Attorneys Ask About Technology Expert Witnesses:
A technology expert typically becomes necessary in patent infringement litigation covering a wide range of technologies, technology licensing and vendor disputes over whether a delivered system met contractual specifications, and technology due diligence disputes arising from mergers, acquisitions, or venture investments.
These experts can compare an accused product's technical architecture against patent claim elements, evaluate whether a delivered technology system met contractual functional specifications, and assess whether a target company's technology claims are supported by its development records. Many also address broader questions of technology readiness and development practices.
Given how broad the technology field is, the expert's specific technical background should closely match the exact technology at issue rather than general technology credentials. Prior testimony and hands-on development experience in that specific technology area strengthen credibility.
A technology expert's technical analysis can establish whether infringement or a contractual shortfall occurred, and can quantify damages tied to lost functionality or misrepresented technology claims. The same analysis is frequently used to rebut an opposing expert's technical conclusions.
Round Table Group works with counsel to define the specific technology and technical questions at issue, then sources and speaks with candidates to evaluate their directly relevant technical experience. After confirming interest, availability, and completing conflict checks, we present a curated roster of qualified options for counsel to review.
