What is a nanotechnology expert witness?
Nanotechnology expert witness candidates must have a deep understanding not only of the technology, but also of the global market, market growth, and competitive landscape. Whether the technology involves chemical vapor deposition, chemical engineering, nanomaterials or a nanoparticle, Cahn Litigation Services has the experience required to turn an expert witness search around quickly, providing the right balance of expertise and testimony to support each specific project and its nuances.
What types of cases require a nanotechnology expert witness?
The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers. Nanotechnology encompasses the fields of science as diverse as surface science, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor physics, energy storage, microfabrication, and molecular engineering. Nanotechnology is helping to improve and revolutionize many technology and industry sectors including information technology, homeland security, medicine, transportation, energy, food safety, and environmental science.
An expert witness in the field of nanotechnology will typically provide his or her expertise in intellectual property matters. It could be a patent infringement case, an Inter Partes Review (IPR) in the PTAB (where the only expert testimony is through a deposition), a trade secret dispute, or a patent case or proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC).
What litigation support work might a nanotechnology expert witness be expected to perform?
Litigation support by a nanotechnology subject matter expert could include forensic science analyses, research, authoring expert reports, providing expert opinions, depositions, and trial testimony. In addition, clients may seek an industry expert for pre-litigation consultant work. Cahn Litigation Services has completed numerous searches for nanotechnology expert witnesses, providing candidates for each case to the specifications provided by the attorney in charge.
