Courtroom Animation by A2L Consulting (formerly Animators at Law)

courtroom animation

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a courtroom animation is worth a million words.

No other courtroom technology has the persuasive punch that courtroom animation has. After all, seeing truly is believing.  And when a judge or jury sees a courtroom animation about the function of a patented device, sees biochemistry in action, sees how the plane crashed, sees the trouble the construction project is in, or sees how the environmental plume moved, they will have a hard time seeing it any other way.

And that's the point, isn't it.  We only want the judge or jury to see it our way.  The harder the other side's position is to imagine, the more likely we are to be seen as correct.

We work with engineers, doctors, scientists and even economists acting as experts to create courtroom animations that tech and persuade.  We do this in all kinds of cases, but practically, the amount at stake must be significant enough to justify the investment.

In our decades of creating animation for the courtroom, we've never had an an animation excluded from evidence, and this is important.  Admissibility is key when it comes to animation.  If it does not get admitted, money is wasted.  We simply won't let that happen.

Quick, tell me what this patent claim language means: Unless you’re a patent geek like me , you probably haven’t the foggiest idea how to interpret this language.  But if you are an attorney in a patent infringement litigation, your job is not only to explain to a judge and jury what claim language means, but do so in a convincing and persuasive manner. If the fact...Read More

The expression means that when many individuals design something as a group, every imaginable feature will go into the finished product – and it will end up with many important features. But the product will have lost its beauty – and sometimes will have lost some of its usefulness as a complete entity. ...Read More
