In a dispute over patented IC packaging technology used in smartphones, the plaintiff sought WIT's help to provide a expert in wireless technology with experience in noise isolation, wafer-level packaging, and trial testimony.
The Complaint: Tech Company Accuses Competitor of Patent Infringement In Smartphone Technology
The plaintiff, a technology company specializing in integrated chip (IC) packaging, claimed that a major electronics company infringed on their patented wireless technology. They accused the defendant of making and selling smartphones and other devices that include their application and image processors, DRAM memory, wafer-level packing chips, and other semiconductor components.
The Ask: A Wireless Technology Expert with Knowledge of the Technical Aspects of IC Packaging
The plaintiff approached WIT to provide an expert with experience in electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in IC packages. The expert should also be familiar with noise isolation techniques and wafer-level packaging. They must have prior experience testifying in depositions or trials and be willing to commit over 100 hours to this case. Additionally, the expert should be an academic capable of conducting research, reviewing materials, consulting, and writing a declaration.
