How does our multidisciplinary approach help clients navigate ITC Section 337 cases with more clarity and confidence?
Exponent's multidisciplinary teams support clients in Section 337 investigations of issues related to biomedical, electrical, mechanical, and materials product designs. Our multidisciplinary approach is suited to the fast-paced nature of ITC cases, and we assemble relevant subject matter experts to deliver high-quality work on tight deadlines.
As independent experts, we have worked with both complainants and respondents, covering issues related to both validity and infringement. In determining whether or not products practice asserted claims, our laboratories and extensive analytical capabilities have proven invaluable in supporting our opinions with solid scientific bases. Our evidence-based methods and techniques have held up to the highest levels of scrutiny and cross-examination. Our team has investigated wide-ranging technologies, including software, computer and microprocessor architecture, consumer electronics and household appliances, vehicular technologies, medical electronics, polymeric materials, and mobile technologies.
