NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 7, 2014) - SmartMetric, Inc. (
"Edward Gussin, an expert witness who specializes in electrical engineering, provided testimony that documents submitted to the court by Visa and MasterCard in their own defense, directly show they infringed. Mr. Gussin further shows that the defendants' EMVsystems technology contains all six elements of SmartMetric's independent claims in our patent," stated SmartMetric President and CEO Chaya Hendrick. "We look forward to further developments in this case, which are expected in the coming months."
Edward Gussin is an electrical engineer with 30-plus years of experience. He has extensive expert witness testimony experience in the fields of electronics, computer hardware and software, video game technology, and electrical engineering. His expertise includes in-court testimony, strategy development, brief preparation, research in patent infringement litigation and Markman hearings.
The following are excerpts pertaining to Mr. Gussin's expert findings submitted to the court in the court brief filed by SmartMetric, which can be found at: www.smartmetric.blogspot.com:
- "...Gussin identifies Defendants' own documents, produced by Defendants in this case, which show that Defendants' EMVsystems contain all 6 elements in SmartMetric's independent claims 1 and 14."
- "...Gussin's expert opinion that Defendants' EMVsystems include all six elements in the asserted claims, and therefore infringe, based on Defendants' own documents and deposition admissions."
- "...all evidence (A)-(C) was uncontroverted, because Defendants' witnesses did not claim to have reviewed Defendants' documents that Gussin's Declarations relied on as showing Defendants' infringement, did not contest what Gussin said, and did not file any Declarations, or any other evidence, rebutting Gussin's analysis."
