Practice system

IP Litigation, run as a system.

Patent, trademark, copyright and trade-secret infringement disputes and enforcement litigation.

The litigation calendar plus discipline-specific procedural layers: contentions on rails, claim construction as a mid-case pivot, and the IPR/TTAB chessboard running alongside district court.

Questions

Before you book the call.

Do you build a matter management system specifically for ip litigation practices?
Yes. It runs on the same MATTER Method as everything else I build, configured for how ip litigation actually moves: The litigation calendar plus discipline-specific procedural layers: contentions on rails, claim construction as a mid-case pivot, and the IPR/TTAB chessboard running alongside district court.
What does the system actually track for a ip litigation matter?
Every stage from pre-suit notice to trial, the facts that matter most for this practice (ipr one-year bar, markman hearing, asserted claims), the document set the matter actually produces, and one computed read: damages tracker, damages-period length × royalty or lost-profits theory, tracked against the claimed figure.
Can I get this through MatterOS, or does it need a custom build?
Both. It ships as a configured practice pack inside MatterOS for solo and small-firm workflows, or as a private, purpose-built system when a firm needs more control over data, integrations or workflow. Either way, we start with a short call to see which fits.
Do you also handle litigation technology and expert witness work for these matters?
Separately, yes, under the same practice. If a matter needs digital evidence structured or presented in a US courtroom rather than just tracked, that is the second half of what I do. See the Services page for how that engagement runs.

IP Litigation is one of the twenty-two packs inside Practice Pack Blueprints, the stages, vitals, deadline logic and document set for this practice, ready to install yourself. Two minutes on the readiness audit will tell you honestly whether that's enough, or whether this practice needs the full build.

Bring me the ip litigation matter. I've probably built this before.
