Cloud Computing Expert Witnesses

What is a cloud computing expert witness?

Cloud computing expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience and expertise in computer science, software development, cloud storage, big data, networking, or computer security. With a concern by some experts on privacy, cyber security and computer forensics expertise is also in demand. In a high-profile case, a law firm may request an expert with prior expert witness testimony experience.

What types of cases require a cloud computing expert witness?

Cloud computing is used to describe on-demand services and data over the Internet – all saved remotely in a database. Cloud storage is an emerging technology area with ongoing research and a highly competitive landscape, and cloud patent lawsuits are expected to rise.

Cloud computing expert witness case examples

Representative cloud computing matters that have required expert witness services have involved legal issues pertaining to:

• cloud computing patent infringement, including Inter partes review (IPR),
• computer forensics, for example, disputes involving digital evidence,
• a web services company’s trade secrets stored in the cloud, and
• machine learning.

What litigation support work might a cloud computing expert witness be expected to perform?

Litigation support and digital forensic investigations in the cloud computing world have unique challenges, due to the use of remote storage and virtualization technologies. Litigation support by a cloud computing expert witness could include the review of underlying technology, authoring expert reports, providing expert opinions, and expert testimony in the courtroom.
