Matt Jacoby’s Summary
For the past several years, as a patent litigation support visualizationalist, I have had the pleasure of synthesizing my broad scientific and technical knowledge with computer visualization techniques that have been a life-long passion.
I have relished the challenges afforded by taking on fresh new concepts with each project. Working closely with inspired attorneys and sublimely specialized experts to craft accurate, informative, and on-message visuals is a joy.
In the future, I hope to continue to find avenues for working in collaboration with smart and creative peers, devising novel ways to make the abstract accessible. This may continue to take place in the context of litigation support, or in education, interactives design, or a broad variety of other fields to which my skills would be well-suited.
Some cases I've worked on:
MercExchange v eBay (Skadden)
DVD CCA v Kaleidescape (Tom Moore)
Epistar v LumiLED (Akin Gump)
Installshield v Macrovision (Quinn Emanuel)
Skyline Software v Google (Fenwick & West)
Compuware v IBM (Fenwick & West)
University of Pittsburgh v Varian (Morgan Lewis)
Asyst v Jenoptik/Empak/Emtrak (Fenwick & West)
Optima v Roxio (Holland Knight)
University of California v Monsanto (Quinn Emanuel)
3Com v Realtek (Akin Gump)
HP v Gateway (Greenberg Traurig)
Data Treasury v First Data (Sidley & Austin)

Visualization Specialist / Animation Director
MIM Legal Video & Graphics
(Legal Services industry)
June 2004 — Present (5 years 6 months)
I devise and create interactive tutorials of scientific and technical concepts for presentation in patent litigation trials. In addition to conceptualization implementation, and display of produced multimedia, my position involves project management encompassing scheduling, waypoints, budgeting, delegation/distribution of work tasks, and project archiving.
Creating accurate and persuasive interactives requires working in concert with attorneys and experts to craft effective messaging, often under strict deadlines and in high-pressure courtroom situations.
In addition, I am responsible for managing and procuring the technological resources required to do the job. This includes both hardware and software, local and remote. -
