Expert Witness - Royalty Compliance and Licensing

In addition to thorough audit services, we provide expert witnesses to help remove any doubt from the minds of a jury on confusing intellectual property valuations.  Our team provides knowledgeable, industry personnel in many important legal cases during depositions, discoveries and court proceedings.  Please contact us directly for a full listing of recent RCO litigation support engagements.

Investigations 

RCO performs many forensic investigations into sales information on prior period royalty statements and contact interpretations.  We recognize that many cases require around the clock support to refine data under tight time constraints.  Recently, we successfully analyzed and interpreted several years of detailed sales data from a major medical company resulting in a large award to the plaintiff (link to Medtronic success story).

Case Strategy

We provide attorneys with the field experience to assess the potential merits and provide analysis and accounting concepts used to prove or challenge a case.  With our vast history in royalty audits and with prior litigation support of cases involving royalty disputes, we offer a unique perspective on potential damage claims and liability issues.

During discovery requests, we provide audit and research services to identify improper accounting techniques and misinterpreted contract clauses.  Upon review of the discovery materials, we provide multiple valuation methodologies to determine the best points to raise during negotiations leading to an equitable dispute resolution.
