Intellectual Property as a Subject of Expertise

Abstract

Given that expert testimony is a means of evidence that is used when the determination or assessment of certain facts important for the correct resolution of a disputed matter requires expert knowledge that the court or an authorized official does not have, and that there are more and more disputes whose subject is intellectual property, appears there is a growing need for intellectual property expertise. As the relevant fact is established or evaluated by expert examination, in the sphere of intellectual property, which is an intangible matter in itself, it is difficult to understand certain concepts and their meaning, the border between the creator of the work and the right holder, the line of demarcation between the right of ownership and the right to use intellectual property, and the value intellectual property and therefore professional knowledge and opinion of experts from the mentioned field is required.
