Computer Gaming Expert Witnesses

Start Computer Gaming Expert Search

Computer gaming expert witness candidates typically have extensive experience and expertise in computer science, electrical engineering, computer forensics, computer animation, and/or software engineering.

A computer game is a type of video game played on a personal computer, as opposed to a video game console, and is popular on a number of platforms including mobile devices (smart phone, ipad), desktop and laptop devices. Often, matters requiring computer gaming technology expert witness services involve intellectual property, such as patent infringement litigation, copyright or trade secret disputes. A software forensic expert can analyze software source code to determine if there is evidence to reveal intellectual property infringement or theft.

Litigation support by a computer gaming expert witness could include reverse engineering, an expert report, an expert opinion, expert testimony, and trial testimony. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, counsel may request a subject matter expert with prior testifying experience. An expert witness needs to not only have the requisite expertise but must also possess the ability to explain technology and evidence to lay people, such as a judge or jurors. In addition, clients may seek a gaming industry expert for pre-litigation consulting work.

Cahn Litigation Services is often called upon to locate expert witnesses that can support computer gaming matters and can present demonstrative evidence to support a case. History has shown that the firm consistently provides experts with the perfect balance of expertise and testimony to support each specific project and its nuances.

This expert has worked on numerous embedded systems projects which have included wireless communications, including game consoles, handheld gaming devices, first generation (J2ME/Brew) "feature" phones, present day smartphone devices and browser-based online games. As an expert in over 20 computer software languages, including assembly language [TMS1000, AMI S2000, 6502, 65816, 6800, Z80, 8080, etc], C, C++, Java, Javascript, Objective C, Lingo, Swift, and others, this expert has performed extensive source code analysis and reverse engineering from object code to source code. This expert has development experience with embedded systems utilizing ROM-based software. As an early pioneer in the handheld electronic toy and video game industries, this expert designed software on systems where the delivery mechanism was ROM-based cartridges. This expert also has strong knowledge of microprocessor and microcontroller architectures used in embedded systems, having designed the hardware and software of early microcontroller-based handheld electronic products. This expert designed, developed and coded one of the earliest tokenized interpretive languages for a commercially released software product. The architecture of the language was based on processor-independent, bytecode "object code," which was compiled on-the-fly during program design and interpreted in real-time by an assembly language-based virtual machine. The language was highly optimized, allowing for the development of real-time, graphic-intensive applications executing at 15 frames per second (on 8-bit hardware). This expert has been retained as an expert and accepted by the court in over 25 patent infringement cases, on both the plaintiff and defendant sides. This expert has written numerous reports on patent infringement and non-infringement, validity/invalidity and claim construction, been deposed over 25 times and has testified in court or at an arbitration hearing seven times. Outside of this expert's expertise in video games, this expert has worked on numerous other cases involving software development for general applications, including image processing, vector graphics, virtual reality, embedded control systems for location-based amusement machines, and a handheld language translator.

  This expert published a video game for the Apple II, C-64, and Atari 400/800. This expert was lead programmer and architect of a Win95/DirectX FPS game. This expert initially wrote a rendering engine but switched to Direct3D v.3.0 during development. This expert was an application engineer responsible for 3rd party API design and integration of a rendering engine which was custom artistic' rather than a photorealistic rendering engine. This work required considerable study and understanding of the then current state of the art software rendering. The renderer required a full understanding of various rendering pipelines as well as where it would be beneficial either for desired effect or compute performance to modify that pipeline. The render was specifically an alternative to the photo-realistic renders which he studied. The best of these were physically based, ray-tracing renderers.

  This expert's understanding of the details of physically based rendering benefited from an undergraduate physics degree. This expert continues to study various rendering techniques as they relate to scientific visualization.
