The phases below run in sequence. The analysis starts when the records arrive, so the records request in the engagement process sets the pace, and disclosure deadlines are agreed at retention.
Typical timeline
Retention and records intake 1 to 2 weeks
License, market, and sales analysis 4 to 8 weeks after the sales and license data are produced
Draft and final report 2 to 3 weeks after the analysis
Deposition and trial support As scheduled by counsel and the court
What the engagement delivers
We issue the final report on the disclosure schedule and provide deposition and trial testimony, critique of the opposing damages analysis, and updated calculations as the court construes any patent claims and the record develops.
