Image Processing and Cameras
Smartphones have replaced many devices of the low-tech era, and they have disrupted digital photography. Today, the top differentiator of a smartphone is its camera, which is why we see 5-7 cameras now built into our mobile devices. The most intricate component of the camera is the image sensor, which continues to increase in resolution, color depth, and dynamic range. At the same time, specialized cameras are used in many new applications, such as autonomous and remote-controlled drones, and self-driving cars, both of which require very high resolution. These cameras are complemented by advanced image processing capabilities to produce ever clearer images. The intellectual property created to make these innovative devices is truly astounding and is naturally followed by legal disputes. Sidespin Group provides experts for litigation, as well as R&D services for image processing and camera sensors.

Case Studies
Patent Infringement
Our client, the patent owner, was in possession of video compositing patents that a top technology company was using without permission in its video streaming service. We provided expert analysis of the patents and the analysis of the streaming product to determine what aspects of the patents were infringed upon. We provided a report of expert testimony at deposition, which subsequently led to the case being settled.
