Optical Data Storage Expert Witnesses
Start Optical Data Storage Expert Search
Optical data storage expert witness candidates typically have advanced degrees and expertise in electrical engineering, computer science, and/or software engineering – depending on the specific technology and product involved the case. Cahn Litigation Services is called on by attorney clients to locate expert witnesses that can support matters involving data storage technology, including optical data storage. Oftentimes, the expert witness chosen is member of an industry organization such as the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA) and/or IEEE. An optical data storage expert witness should have a deep understanding not only of the technology, but also of the optical data storage market, market share, and competitive landscape.
An optical data storage expert witness could provide expertise in intellectual property matters, such as a patent litigation in federal court or a trade secret dispute. It could be a patent infringement case in the District Court, an Inter Partes Review (IPR) in the PTAB, or a patent case or proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC). In a litigation scenario, a technical expert can expect courtroom testimony, as well as other expert witness services such as depositions, expert testimony, a prior art search, expert reports, forensic analysis, claim charts, and related consulting activities. In high profile cases, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, previous expert witness experience is often a requirement. An optical data storage expert witness needs to not only have technical expertise, a data storage systems expert witness should possess the ability to explain technology and evidence to lay people, including a judge and jury. In addition, clients may seek a storage device expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
