Expert Witnesses for PTAB when Deadlines Don’t Bend

IPR, PGR, and CBM cases move on a 12-month clock. A weak declaration can sink institution - and follow you all the way to the Federal Circuit. Connect delivers PTAB-tested experts — conflict-cleared, declaration-ready, and on your desk in 72 hours

Fast, conflict-free expert sourcing for IPR, PGR, and CBM cases

Why PTAB Demands Smarter Expert Search

Deadlines are fixed. Word counts are capped. The Board scrutinizes every line of testimony. Here’s where traditional expert searches break down:

Shortlists arrive after POPR or reply deadlines - and institution is lost

Experts lack PTAB declaration history - opinions given little weight

Conflicts emerge post-institution with no time to replace

Drafts stall when experts don’t understand petition limits or APA-proof reasoning

PTAB teams need experts who know the forum, can draft under pressure, and won’t create risk.
