Ryan Sullivan was recognized as a top U.S. economic expert in the 2014 edition of Intellectual Asset Management’s IAM Patent 1000: The World’s Leading Patent Practitioners 2014.
The IAM Patent 1000 identifies the leading technical and economic experts in the United States. In this edition, for the first time, the IAM Patent 1000 also identifies the leading technical and economic experts in the world’s largest patent litigation market, the United States. Nicholas Richardson, research editor on the IAM Patent 1000, explains: “With the landscape governing damages in flux, economists are now key players in patent disputes, alongside independent technical experts. Finding the right expert is now a crucial part of patent litigation and the IAM Patent 1000 pinpoints the best of the best, making it an essential tool for IP decision makers.”
Dr. Sullivan was one of only 43 experts selected for inclusion as top economic experts in the United States. According to IAM, “Ryan Sullivan is esteemed for his economic, finance and statistics expertise. Commentators laud his ability to ‘write outstanding reports’, while in court ‘he comes across superbly’. He is a top pick for high-stakes matters and has provided testimony in several cases with more than $1 billion in dispute.”
