RFID Expert Witnesses
What is an RFID expert witness?
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) expert witness candidates typically have backgrounds in electrical engineering, and are active members of an industry organization such as the International RFID Business Association (RFIDba) or IEEE. An RFID expert witness should have a deep understanding not only of the target technology, but also of the major players in the industry, market growth rate, market share, market segmentation, and supply chain.
What types of cases require an RFID expert witness?
An RFID expert witness could provide expertise in intellectual property matters such as a patent litigation or a trade secret dispute. Support could include an Inter Partes Review (IPR) in the PTAB, or a patent case or proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC).
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology uses electromagnetic fields to identify and track an RFID tag, smart label or RFID chip attached to an object. The RFID tag can be used to manage inventory, assets, or people. The wide range of applications using RFID technology include electronic keys and access management, toll collection, airport baggage tracking, and monitoring of perishable goods.
What litigation support work might an RFID expert witness be expected to perform?
Expert witness services by a radio-frequency identification expert witness could include forensic analyses, research and authoring expert reports, providing expert opinions, and testimony at deposition and at trial.
Whether the case involves the healthcare sector, asset tracking, a passive RFID tag, or other RFID system, Cahn Litigation Services has the experience required to turn a search for an RFID expert witness around quickly, providing the right balance of expertise and testimony experience.
