Teklicon

Teklicon was a boutique expert witness services firm specializing in patent matters, based in Silicon Valley (San Jose), California. Founded in 1986, it described itself as the original technical expert witness referral agency.

The firm's founder was himself an expert witness, and was frequently asked by litigators for referrals to technical experts; recognizing the need for a dedicated referral firm, he founded Teklicon. Unlike larger, generalist expert witness search firms, Teklicon maintained a narrow focus exclusively on intellectual property matters requiring technical expertise, covering fields such as biotechnology, software, electronics, telecommunications, internet technology, computer hardware, mechanical engineering, and pharmaceuticals. The firm used proprietary search algorithms and data analytics to match expert candidates to case needs, and said its experts typically held PhDs or other advanced degrees, with many holding patents themselves.

Teklicon was acquired by IMS Consulting & Expert Witness Services (now IMS Legal Strategies) in December 2023; however, it was officially announced in March 2025.
