Technology Roundup: Top Insights from Q2 – Q3

Success at the ITC depends not just on the legal merits, but on how effectively parties can organize technical complexity, align expert-driven narratives, and present a clear, disciplined case under significant time pressure. Let’s explore how venue nuances and current industry trends are impacting proceedings seen before the Commission.

Litigation surrounding autonomous vehicle technology raises a question that courts will increasingly confront as AI becomes more embedded in everyday life: when humans and machines share control, who gets the blame when something goes wrong?

To better understand evolving trends at the venue and hear directly from those involved in ITC litigation, DOAR proudly sponsored and attended the American Conference Institute’s annual ITC Litigation and Enforcement Conference.

As generative AI technologies move from early adoption to widespread commercial use, litigation activity is accelerating in parallel. Our analysis of 168 district court cases highlights a sharp rise in filings, a high concentration among a small group of defendants, and early signals of how this legal landscape may evolve.

Using litigation data across carriers, infrastructure providers, device manufacturers, and technology suppliers, we highlight where different types of disputes tend to arise and why those patterns vary by segment.

For litigators, especially in insurance disputes with their endless exhibits and dense policy language, the challenge is not whether to use graphics but how to use them effectively, credibly, and strategically to make the case intelligible to the trier of fact.

Using aggregated filing data from the wireless dataset, we provide a data-driven view of where litigation is concentrated, which parties are most active, and how the structure of the wireless market shapes the legal landscape.
