The process of scheduling an international deposition can have several moving pieces, from counsel’s and the witness’ schedule to arranging for a court reporter, videographer, and/or interpreter. And then there’s finding an appropriate location, coordinating travel, organizing exhibits, setting up special services, as well as planning for the necessary technology needed to make the deposition run smoothly.

We have written before about the Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (PTAB’s) 70% all-claims invalidation rate. That article explained (using numbers from the PTAB statistics page) that when a patent is subjected to an IPR, the all-claims invalidation rate is 70%. The all-claims invalidation rate is the rate at which the PTAB finds all challenged claims invalid (unpatentable), effectively killing off the patent.

International depositions involve so many details. You could (we have, in fact) make a list, or a few lists, of those details to keep on track. The length of a list or two may intimidate some, while a detail here and there may make another person cringe. A list of travel requirements is an obvious example of a list with tedious, annoying tasks no one really wants to bother about.

That’s why graphics aren’t just decoration in a trial presentation; they’re strategic tools that can sway outcomes. Visuals speak the language of jurors. The human brain is wired to process and retain visual information far more efficiently than text or speech.
