Why You Need an Intellectual Property Support Expert Witness

The High Stakes of Intellectual Property Disputes

Intellectual property (IP) litigation is rarely straightforward. From patents and trade secrets to trademarks and copyrights, these disputes demand technical clarity and legal precision.

Here’s the deal: Judges and juries aren’t technical experts. You need someone who can bridge that gap—and Dr. David Rockstraw does exactly that.

Real-World Example of IP Support
