Cost of Trademark Surveys
Keegan & Donato Consulting’s consumer research studies are custom-designed to meet the needs of your unique case. This may involve targeting specialized populations of respondents and developing unique designs to address the specific issues of importance in the case, factors that affect the time and level of difficulty of executing a study and its overall cost.
Most of our consumer studies cost between $30,000 and $80,000 to complete, and $55,000 is the most typical cost. We work on a fixed rate or hourly basis depending on your needs, and will work with you to design a survey that is both reliable and within your budget.
Critique & Rebuttal
You may be confronted during litigation with a research study which, on its face, appears persuasive and well-executed. But research studies are not perfect, and Keegan & Donato Consulting can provide guidance about possible flaws in the survey evidence you face in your case.
Expert Witness Testimony
You may need an expert when the facts and issues of your case are not easily understood, or when a court would benefit from empirical evidence related to relevant issues in the case. Mr. Keegan and Mr. Donato have testimony experience as expert witnesses in a number of high-profile cases involving consumer behavior and trademark infringement.
