Telecom expert witness

With in-depth knowledge of wireless standards and technologies, and extensive experience of intellectual property litigation, we can provide high-quality, independent expert witness support. We have worked with several major international law firms on behalf of leading organisations in the mobile industry. We have provided expert witnesses in disputes relating to a variety of mobile technology patents.

GSM, UMTS and LTE expert witness support

Our expert witnesses were directly involved in the development, standardisation and deployment of second-generation (e.g. GSM) and third-generation (e.g. UMTS) cellular systems as well as second-generation cordless telephone systems (e.g. DECT).

More recently they have written extensively and provided consultancy on new technologies including HSPA, HSPA+, LTE and WiMAX.
