The recently revised Intellectual Property Case Adjudication Act, effective 30 August 2023, introduces a new expert witness system. This system encourages more experts to participate in intellectual property litigation proceedings, potentially significantly impacting legal practices. The article begins by outlining the background of the latest revisions and changes. It then explains the new system’s qualifications, procedures, disclosures, and obligations. After analyzing current and previous expert witness practices in intellectual property litigation, the article references and compares the Commercial Case Adjudication Act in Taiwan and the Federal Rules of Evidence and intellectual property legal practices in the United States. The final section discusses how the new system can be integrated into the existing civil litigation system to achieve its intended goals and benefit intellectual property litigation practices. |
