Leveraging 3D Animation in Patent Law
Posted by Joseph Ficocello in Animation, Case theory development, Information Management on March 9, 2010
Intellectual property cases, especially within patent litigation, can be a visually demanding area of the law. The illustration of claim language, accused devices, a variety of products and the minutiae of complicated science, are often best explained in a visual form. Among the various tools of depiction, 3D animation is one of the most popular and effective forms of communicating complex information. In many cases, such as molecular biology or pharmaceutical litigation, it really is one of the only options. While it should never be considered a blanket solution for every instance, nor is it inexpensive, it can usually offer the most illuminating presentation of case complexities when it has been properly implemented.

Posted by Joseph Ficocello in Information Management on December 9, 2009
The necessity to simplify the storage, sharing and protection of our information could never be greater. Legal professionals in particular, both personally and professionally, typically store extensive amounts of data. From vacation photos to deposition videos, the average attorney or litigation support professional are frequent and consistent consumers of digital storage space. However, without an extensive IT department, networking has always posed a challenge for most firms – both at home or work. If you operate a small practice or are an individual attorney, there are a plethora of storage and networking options to choose from, none of which are light on the checkbook. What if you just need a storage solution in your home/office that offers the flexibility of a server environment with a control panel style interface, sold at a reasonable price point?
