Inventions have dramatically improved the quality of our lives. However, they often involve complicated designs and processes that are hard for people to understand. This is only one of many reasons why there are so many lawsuits involving inventions and as we live in an intellectual property economy, there definitely will be more. It is the perception of an invention, rather than the science, technology or engineering on which it is based, that decides the outcome of Intellectual Property (IP) litigation. Dr. Robert Gordon is an internationally recognized behavioral scientist and attorney. Along with the Expert Panel of the Wilmington Institute Network, he has pioneered the study of how jurors perceive inventions.

PatentPerception™.com invites trial attorneys, IP managers, and additional experts from diverse fields to access six innovative methods developed to study and evaluate how patents are perceived when compared to others.

  • Patent Perception Profile™ (Gordon P3™ ) This innovative rating system is based upon intensive research and expert knowledge of how jurors think about and compare inventions.

  • Patent Perception Workshop™ This technique yields winning themes concerning the infringement and damage issues in litigation.

  • Likable Witness Workshop™ This tested method has trained thousands of expert and fact witnesses to tell the truth in a persuasive and credible way.

  • Gordonpoll ™(i.e., Juror Surveys) This procedure utilizes the scientific survey of prospective juror attitudes toward vital issues in intellectual property cases.

  • Virtual Jury™ This web-based research provides a creative, economical, and successful means of gaining insight into key trial themes and prospective jurors' attitudes.

  • Invention-Perception Brain Mapping This research method involves the neuroscience of brain waves as they reflect differences in how inventions are understood.
