Your Search, Step by Step
No guesswork. No waiting. Just a clear, managed process from day one.
Submit a Case Brief
Use our short request form to tell us the case type, technical area, deadline, and any specific requirements — prior testimony history, plaintiff or defendant side, geographic constraints. No lengthy intake process. We start working the moment you submit.
Our Team Reviews & Aligns
A Patexia sourcing specialist reviews your brief and may schedule a short 15-minute intake call to align on nuances — specific journal-level expertise, deposition versus trial experience, budget constraints. This is a real person who will own your search from here.
Data Search + Human Sourcing
We run a two-track search. First, our proprietary IP litigation database — built from district court, PTAB, ITC, and CAFC records — surfaces candidates with verified testimony history and IPC-matched expertise. Second, our team conducts a targeted broader search across academic institutions and industry to find experts who may not appear in court records but are ideal for your case.
Conflict Check & Pre-Screening
Every candidate is manually checked for conflicts — opposing party ties, prior representation of related entities, industry overlap with defendants or plaintiffs. We also confirm availability, willingness to engage, and rate alignment before a single profile reaches you. You only see candidates who are ready.
You Receive 2+ Vetted Candidate Profiles
We deliver a curated shortlist — typically 2 to 4 candidates — with a summary of each person's relevant experience, prior testimony history, conflict-clear status, and rate. No noise, no 40-resume dumps. Each profile is personally endorsed by your sourcing specialist, who can walk you through trade-offs between candidates.
We Handle Everything Else
Once you select a candidate, Patexia manages the full engagement lifecycle: intro call coordination, NDA execution, engagement letter, billing, invoicing, and ongoing support. Your expert works with you; we handle the administration so nothing falls through the cracks.
What Makes Our Process Different
Most expert search firms are directories with a phone attached. We're a managed sourcing service powered by real litigation intelligence.
Case-Specific, Not Keyword-Matched
Every search is tailored. We look at the actual litigation — the patent, the technology, the opposing parties — before touching a database.
Speed Without Compromise
We typically deliver in 24–72 hours because our data infrastructure eliminates the research phase — our team starts at vetting, not discovery.
One Team, Full Lifecycle
Your sourcing specialist stays with your matter from intake through invoice — no handoffs, no dropped context, no starting over.
