Sensors Expert Witnesses
Sensors expert witnesses typically have advanced degrees, and professional experience and expertise in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, and/or computer science.
Sensors are components that detect physical changes, such as pressure, force, temperature or any type of energy. After detecting change, the sensor sends a message to a microcontroller or microprocessor. Any embedded system or any electronic device would likely have sensors. A few examples from the plethora of applications include a medical device (such as a pulse oximeter), smart technologies (i.e., turning on lights and television with a smart phone), automotive, industrial, and remote controls.
A sensors 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 (where the only expert testimony is through a deposition), or a patent case or proceeding in the International Trade Commission (ITC). An expert in sensors might provide testimony in a torts matter like product liability.
Litigation support by a sensors expert witness could include reverse engineering, failure analysis, expert reports, expert opinions, and courtroom testimony at a trial. In a high-profile case, or litigation involving a significant financial stake, a law firm may request a testifying expert with prior expert witness experience. An engineering expert witness needs not only have the requisite substantive expertise but must also possess the ability to explain technology to lay people. In addition, clients may seek an industry expert for pre-litigation consulting work.
