Case Study

In a complex patent litigation case at the United States International Trade Commission involving H.264 video compression technology, Professor Richardson was called to testify on the validity of a patent. He spent only 30 minutes on the witness stand. Our client was delighted because as a result of the strength of Professor Richardson's expert analysis, the opposition dropped its invalidity case.
