Dr. Wacks has served as an expert witness for legal cases involving patent disputes, employment non-complete agreements, and theft of trade secrets in more than a dozen cases involving:
- Lighting control systems
- Home monitoring & control
- Home security systems
- Home video systems
- Access control systems

His patent-litigation experience includes cases before the US Federal Courts, the International
Trade Commission, and inter partes reviews before the United States Patent and
Trademark Office.
He has examined patents for infringement and invalidity based on anticipation,
obviousness, and indefiniteness. From each examination he prepares reports and declarations,
and delivers a deposition when requested. His clients have prevailed based in part on his text,
which has been cited in judges' findings.
