DOCUMENT REVIEW
What is Document Review?
​

Document review is the process whereby each party to a case sorts through and analyzes the documents and data they possess (and later the documents and data supplied by their opponents through discovery) to determine which are sensitive or otherwise relevant to the case.

Because of both the labor-intensive nature of such review and the complexity of technical documents, having attorneys alone review millions of documents is seldom the most fruitful and rarely cost-effective.

​

Copperpod's engineering team can help corporations increase the technical accuracy and reduce legal costs associated with document reviews. Our team works seamlessly with the outside counsel and the in-house counsel to not only tag documents according to whether they are responsive to the case but also identify the key evidence as early in the case as possible.

Our document review analysts are well versed with most document review platforms like Relativity, CS Disco and Concordance.

We have leveraged our document review capabilities to help clients achieve success in several high-tech cases covering:

Enterprise Software

IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ad WLAN

CLAIM CHARTS
What is a Claim Chart?
​

A claim chart is a visual representation of evidence showing how each claim limitation has been implemented by an infringing product or service. While formatting can vary, at a minimum a claim chart lists all relevant claim limitations in one column, and provides evidence (such as screenshots or text from product marketing material, developer documentation, FAQs, videos, network tests and/or photographs of the product or teardowns of the product) in another column against each of the claim limitations.

​

Great claim charts, such as those made by Copperpod, also provide detailed analyst comments explaining how the evidence shows that the charted product or service implements the claim limitation, and annotations highlighting the most important portions of the cited evidence.Claim charts are an essential artifact during any patent licensing or enforcement campaign, as it articulates the infringement theory in an easy to understand and difficult to refute format. Moreover, claim charts may evolve throughout a campaign, as new evidence is discovered during fact discovery, and the infringement positions become consolidated pre-trial.

​

Copperpod has helped plaintiff attorneys prepare detailed infringement contentions and evidence of use Claim Charts on over 100 patent litigation matters. We understand the burden of proof our clients must satisfy - and work hard to make sure that our claim charts are not only thorough, on time but also explain technical concepts fully through easy-to-understand expert comments.​

​

Whether it is multimedia delivery networks, consumer electronics or medical devices, our experts bring the right expertise and the right resources to unearth key evidence to form the best infringement theory. We work with clients throughout the case so that our Evidence of Use reports, Claim Charts and Infringement Contentions consistently align with the case facts to achieve success.
Copperpod IP's patent consultants analyze technology products to build claim charts using document review, product demonstrations and reverse engineering.

SOURCE CODE REVIEW
What is Source Code Review?
​

Source Code Review helps identify crucial evidence of infringement from within the defendant's source code before and during fact discovery. Source code evidence can arguably be the most powerful weapon in a litigator's toolkit, requiring not only specialized tools but also unique expertise.

Source Code Review for Patent Infringement
Hosting and conducting a source code review can be expensive in terms of time, cost and security. Attorneys necessarily have to manage a balancing act to ensure not only that the producing party's source code remains secure but also that the code inspection is done diligently and efficiently.

​

Copperpod's experts navigate through the source code quickly to identify:

​

Implementation of the patented technology with detailed excerpts

Missing source code

Missing documentation referenced in the code

Most appropriate witnesses for testifying

Relevant development and release dates

Code from third parties

Code governed by open-source licenses



We use highly specialized tools and software that make the review process as efficient as possible - while ensuring that no relevant evidence is overlooked.



Building upon the source code evidence, our consulting experts work closely with expert witnesses and litigators to supplement patent infringement contentions, prepare exhibits for expert reports and refine technical arguments for depositions and trial.
