In patent litigation, skillful expert testimony is crucial; it can persuade juries and provide a strong basis for appeals. Expert qualifications, particularly regarding the temporal knowledge of a person skilled in the art, are vital.
The Federal Circuit's ruling in Osseo Imaging v. Planmeca emphasizes the necessity for technical experts to possess skills relevant to the invention's date, highlighting the stringent qualifications required under Daubert.
The Osseo Imaging case illustrates the importance of time-relevant expertise in patent trials, underscoring how experts can be disqualified if their knowledge does not align with the invention's era.
A skilled technical expert is critical in patent litigation, both for damages calculations and for providing valid testimony on infringement. Their credentials must be firmly established to avoid disqualification.
