Crimson Insights identifies testifying and consulting technical experts
whose backgrounds closely match the technology involved in your case.
$2,500 one-time fee — only if you engage an expert we recommend.
We understand patents, claims, prior art, and the technical issues that arise in patent litigation.
We search beyond traditional expert databases to identify academics, engineers, researchers, inventors, and industry professionals.
We can search around the precise technology, industry background, priority period, or litigation experience required.
Technical Expertise Matched to the Case
Patent disputes often involve highly specialized technologies where broad
subject-matter knowledge is not enough. The right expert may need experience
with a particular product architecture, industry standard, engineering
discipline, manufacturing process, or period of technological development.
We help law firms identify technical expert witnesses for patent
litigation by first understanding the patents and technical issues,
then researching professionals whose backgrounds closely match the matter.
Testifying and Consulting Experts
We can identify experts with the technical background required to support expert reports, depositions, hearings, or trial testimony.
Where prior patent litigation experience is important, it can be included as part of the candidate criteria.
Consulting experts can assist counsel in understanding the technology, reviewing patents and prior art, evaluating technical positions, or assessing opposing expert arguments.
If testimony experience is unnecessary, the available pool of highly specialized professionals can be substantially broader.
How the Expert Search Works
Provide the case name, patent numbers, and a short description of the expertise required.
We review the patents and technical issues to determine the right expert profile.
We research professionals whose backgrounds closely match your technology and requirements.
Your legal team evaluates the candidates and decides whether to engage any expert we recommend.
Who We Can Identify
University professors, researchers, authors, and specialists with deep knowledge of the relevant field.
Engineers, scientists, executives, inventors, product developers, and former R&D personnel.
Professionals with prior expert reports, depositions, hearings, or trial testimony when required.
Areas of Technical Expertise
Source code, software architecture, databases, cloud computing, cybersecurity, AI, machine learning, and distributed systems.
Semiconductors, integrated circuits, signal processing, embedded systems, RF systems, antennas, and power electronics.
3G, 4G, 5G, Wi-Fi, networking protocols, optical communications, video transmission, and standards-based technologies.

Patent Expert Witness FAQ
What is a patent expert witness?
A patent expert witness is typically a scientist, engineer, academic, or industry professional with specialized knowledge relevant to the technology involved in a patent dispute. Depending on the matter, an expert may conduct technical analysis, prepare an expert report, give deposition testimony, or testify at trial.
Can you find both testifying and non-testifying experts?
Yes. We can identify both testifying expert witnesses and non-testifying consulting experts.
Do you only use experts already in your network?
No. Our approach is research-driven. We search beyond conventional expert witness directories and established expert networks.
Can you search for very narrow technical expertise?
Yes. Highly specialized searches are a core part of the service. Patent numbers and a brief description of the required expertise are
generally enough for us to begin evaluating the search.
Can you find experts with previous patent litigation experience?
Yes. Prior expert reports, depositions, hearings, trial testimony, and other patent litigation experience can be included among the search criteria.
Can you search for experience before a patent’s priority date?
Yes. Where relevant, we can focus the search on professionals whose academic, research, or industry experience predates a specified priority date.
