CASE AT A GLANCE
3D Scanning & Machine Vision
Litigation Source Code Review
Multi-Million Dollar Resolution
The Challenge: Proving Infringement in a Complex 3D Scanning Case
The client required a litigation-ready source code review to determine whether a 3D scanning software product infringed key patent claims.
A large and complex codebase with limited
documentation
No clear mapping between implemented features and patent claims
Tight litigation timelines requiring fast yet defensible analysis
Need for evidence that could withstand expert scrutiny and courtroom standards
What Lumenci Delivered
Lumenci assembled a specialized team with direct expertise in source code analysis and 3D graphics systems. The engagement proceeded through a structured review methodology designed to produce defensible, litigation-grade findings.
Identifying the Right Entry Points
The team first identified which patent claims and claim elements were most likely to benefit from source code evidence — ensuring that the review effort was targeted and aligned with the litigation strategy from the outset.
Comprehensive Source Code Examination
Lumenci conducted a systematic review of the accused product's codebase, examining the modules, algorithms, and data flows most relevant to the asserted claims. The review combined static source code analysis — examining the code structure and logic — with detailed tracing of how key functions were implemented and called.
Supplementary Research and Contextual Analysis
The source code review was supported by analysis of available public documentation, technical specifications, and confidential materials provided through the discovery process. This cross-referencing ensured that the code-level findings were interpreted in full technical context.
Claim Mapping and Documentation
Lumenci translated its technical findings into precise, well-documented deliverables: detailed write-ups and annotated diagrams that mapped specific code implementations to the relevant patent claim elements.
Client Collaboration & Alignment
The team maintained close alignment with the client's legal counsel throughout the engagement, ensuring that technical findings were accurately represented and strategically integrated into the litigation narrative.
Key Outcomes of the Source Code Review
The source code evidence Lumenci produced gave the client something they did not have before the engagement: an unshakeable technical foundation for their infringement theory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the client choose Lumenci for source code review in this case?
The client required a partner who could combine deep software expertise with litigation awareness. Lumenci’s team brings experience in analyzing complex codebases and translating findings into legally defensible evidence, making us well-suited for high-stakes patent disputes.
Does Lumenci also support claim charts and expert testimony?
Yes. Our source code review integrates directly with claim chart development and Evidence of Use (EoU). We also collaborate closely with testifying experts to ensure that technical findings are aligned with litigation strategy and can withstand scrutiny.
Why is source code evidence especially important in 3D scanning patent cases?
3D scanning technologies rely heavily on complex algorithms, data processing pipelines, and software logic that are not visible externally. Source code analysis is often the only way to accurately validate how these systems function and whether they implement patented methods.
Will Lumenci’s source code review approach align with my case needs?
Yes. Every engagement is tailored to the case—whether it involves early-stage infringement analysis, claim chart support, or expert-driven litigation. Our methodology is flexible and designed to align with case strategy, timelines, and legal requirements.
Does Lumenci work with IP law firms and litigation teams?
Absolutely. We regularly work alongside IP law firms, litigation teams, and testifying experts, providing technical analysis that integrates seamlessly into broader case strategy. Learn more about our IP litigation support services.
Are Lumenci’s source code review processes secure and compliant?
Yes. All source code reviews are conducted under strict confidentiality protocols and within secure environments that comply with protective orders and legal requirements.
Do Lumenci’s experts understand litigation requirements?
Yes. Our team includes experienced software and system engineers who understand not only how code works, but also how technical evidence is challenged, presented, and defended in litigation.
