Learn the difference between a hazard and a risk, and how engineers evaluate exposure, likelihood, severity, foreseeable use, and safeguards when conducting product safety assessments, machinery design reviews, and forensic engineering investigations.
Generative AI tools can create persuasive yet fundamentally flawed liability claims. This pre-litigation case study reveals how an unverified LLM analysis misapplied ASTM F2291 safety standards to uncalibrated accelerometer data, and why expert human judgment remains essential in legal disputes.
Podcast Ep. 9: Patent expert witness Nigel Jones explains how source code review, technical analysis, and clear expert testimony support attorneys in patent litigation. This episode looks at the practical work behind infringement, validity, and trial preparation in complex IP disputes.
Patented engineers bring firsthand experience with claim drafting, prosecution history, and real-world invention to patent litigation. This article explains how that background can strengthen claim construction, infringement analysis, invalidity review, expert reports, deposition performance, and trial testimony.
Machine guarding helps protect workers from rotating parts, pinch points, cutting tools, crush zones, and other mechanical hazards. This guide explains common machine guard types and the engineering considerations that help make safeguarding effective, practical, and compliant.
