Patent Infringement: Expert Report Coordination and Review
Coordination and legal review of an expert report in a Patent Infringement case, making sure the opinions are within the expert's expertise, the methodology is stated, the reliance materials are complete, and the report says what the case needs it to say.
We do not write the expert's opinions, and this review is designed to make that clear on the face of the record. Coordinated with your expert so the disclosure meets Rule 26 and the opinions survive a challenge under Rule 702.
Frequently asked questions
The fee covers the finished document, filing-ready or send-ready as applicable, the supporting exhibits or attachments described in the scope, and a short cover memorandum explaining the choices made. It is fixed at this scope: one expert report, and excludes expert fees. 2 rounds of revisions are included. If your matter falls outside that scope we tell you before starting and quote the difference—we do not bill past a flat fee without agreeing it first.
2 to 3 weeks from a complete set of instructions, plus time for the 2 rounds of revisions included in the fee. If you are working to a court deadline or a closing date, tell us when you order and we will confirm in writing whether we can meet it before you commit.
$7,800 is $325/hour × 24 hours—the time this deliverable takes in an ordinary patent infringement matter, at the firm's standard rate. Because it is a flat fee, the risk of the work running long sits with the firm: you pay $7,800 whether it takes us the estimate or twice it.
2 rounds of revisions are included. You can add more when you order, or later, at $1,150 per additional round. A round is one consolidated set of your comments and our revised draft back to you.
Third-party costs are never inside a flat fee and are passed through at cost, never marked up: court and agency filing fees, court reporter and transcript charges, expert witness fees, search vendor and e-discovery hosting charges, process server fees, and travel.
A short description of the dispute and where it currently stands, the key documents, contracts, and correspondence, the parties involved and any deadlines already running, and the case caption and court, if a matter has been filed. Send what you have—if something is missing we will tell you what else we need before the turnaround clock starts.
