Foley Senior Counsel Mary Calkins and Associate Debra Lange co-authored an article that appeared on Patent Management & Strategy on February 16, 2010 titled “Bearing Witness: Court-Appointed Experts in Patent Cases.” The authors discuss the use of testifying court-appointed technical experts in patent cases, stating that the use of such experts raises concerns about undue influence and encroachment on the jury’s decisional role.
