Litigation Partners Present PLI Seminar on Expert Witnesses in Patent Trials

Hosted by the Practising Law Institute
April 17, 2009

Patent cases are frequently lost through errors when retaining experts, conducting expert discovery, and presenting expert testimony at trial. Learn how to avoid these and other critical mistakes that could result in your client’s failure to prevail in patent litigation during the Marshall, Gerstein & Borun presentation of 10 Tips for Effective Use of Expert Witnesses in Patent Cases.

Speakers Jeffrey H. Dean and Bradford P. Lyerla, partners at Marshall, Gerstein & Borun, explore the common "do's and don'ts" for the use of expert witnesses in patent litigation. Calling upon their extensive trial experience, Mr. Dean and Mr. Lyerla illustrate how to hire, prepare, depose and present an expert witness to minimize vulnerabilities that can be exploited by opposing counsel.
