Recent Cases

Patent Infringement - Ascent Solutions Group acted as the technical expert for an 800-number call center firm in an alleged infringement of a U.S. patent. Ascent performed an analysis of the plaintiff's patent and wrote an in-depth expert witness report that contended that our client's technology implementation preceded the critical date of the patent filing, negating the plaintiff's charge of infringement.

Within weeks of submitting that report and defending it at deposition, the case was settled. Under the terms of the settlement, the plaintiff agreed to share ownership of the patent with our client and reimburse our client for legal expenses.

Investor Lawsuit - Ascent Solutions Group acted as the technical expert for minority investors who sued the owner of an Enhanced Service Provider for breaching his fiduciary responsibilities. The suit alleged that the owner did not disassociate the ESP from another firm he owned to which the ESP was paying unnecessary and exorbitant monthly fees for technical services. Such failure was deemed by the minority investors as a breach of their agreement with the owner. Ascent performed an analysis of the investors' allegations and found that the ESP owner had indeed delayed separating the two companies from each other and that there was no technical impediment to doing so in a timely manner.

Within weeks of submitting that report, the case was concluded out of court with the minority investors receiving a negotiated settlement.
