The Challenge
The Expert Search Gap in FRAND & SEP Cases
Few disputes blend deep technical detail with high-stakes economics the way SEP cases do. Sourcing the right expert is hard because:
- Essentiality opinions require engineers fluent in the actual standard — 3GPP, IEEE, or codec specs — not generalists.
- FRAND rate-setting demands economists who can defend comparable licenses and apportionment under cross.
- The same handful of well-known experts are conflicted out across the industry's repeat players.
- Global parallel litigation means experts must align with positions taken in other jurisdictions.
