Choosing a Consumer Survey Expert
Expert advice can help you make the most of fact discovery, frame discovery requests, and identify issues to investigate in depositions.
A knowledgeable expert can help determine whether or not a descriptive mark has acquired secondary meaning; whether or not competing marks are likely to confuse consumers; whether or not a mark is famous; and whether or not one brand’s mark is likely to cause dilution to a competing mark.
In addition to collecting survey data, experts can interpret the facts and testify about them to a judge or jury. They can address unique questions or facts that are central to the issues in your case and help you quantify damages.
Experts play different roles in different types of cases, however, so consider your specific goals before beginning your search. A good first step toward finding the most suitable expert is to decide if you are looking for a specific methodological approach, such as an economic analysis to assess damages or a marketing assessment of a brand’s competition.
Next, look at each firm’s experience and review their credentials. Ask about cases in which they have offered expert testimony to find out if there were any similarities to your case and whether any part of their testimony was excluded. Interview each potential candidate to find out if they fully understand the issues in your case.
