Dr. Glew is also experienced in providing IP litigation support, including patents, trade secrets, and economic espionage. He provides expert opinions in large-scale industrial accidents, technology contracts, and arbitration.
He has testified as an expert many times in various venues:
- US Federal District Courts
- International Trade Commission
- US Patent Office (IPR)
- Taiwan High Court
- International Arbitration (IAAA)
- Federal Court of Australia
His testimony has contributed to findings of patent infringement, patent invalidity, inequitable conduct, permanent injunctions, and significantly large monetary damages. Recently the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals cited to his testimony 10 times in preserving the validity of a number of patents owned by a single inventor against three of the largest global corporations in the semiconductor industry. He has also served as an expert for the anti-Trust Division of the US Department of Justice in the largest proposed merger in the semiconductor equipment space.
