Expert Services in Antitrust Matters

The intersection of antitrust and IP rights means that neither can be assessed comprehensively in a vacuum. Instead, it is necessary to consider the concepts together, particularly as the significance of intangible assets to corporations continues to grow.

In regard to antitrust litigation matters, our intellectual property experts:

  • Provide context for competition by analyzing the patent and licensing landscapes to assess the significance of IP owned by the parties to the competitive environment
  • Identify other patent owners in the industry and the relative strength of IP portfolios
  • Evaluate the availability of alternative technologies
  • Opine on competitive royalty rates and other licensing terms typical in the industry

Such analyses may assist in court assess of the appropriate balancing of antitrust and intellectual property rights or establish the fact of damages and financial damages expert testimony.
