Dr. Gary Allen is an independent consultant available as an Expert Witness for Litigation; Consulting; Prior Art and IP Landscape analysis; Patent and Claim Strategy and Analysis.

Upon retirement from GE Lighting in 2016, I had the most issued US Patents of any active employee - now 84 total, with many more pending. In addition to 10 years' experience in Nuclear Fusion research, I have 35 years' experience developing technology and products related to LED Lamps and Luminaires, Optics, Thermals, Electronics, Spectral Tailoring and Color-enhanced Lighting, Human-centric Lighting, and legacy lamp technologies, including: Metal Halide, CMH, LFL, Halogen, and Automotive.

Since retirement, I'm also expert in UV Disinfection for COVID-19, Algae Cultivation with LEDs for Carbon Sequestration, Circadian Lighting for Alzheimer's, and Horticultural Lighting.

Although I have only a single trial experience so far, my client-attorney, having served at 200 trials, praised me as a "natural" on the stand - reference available.

You may find me to be an ideal Expert Witness for cases related to:
- IP for Lighting Products, especially LED-based products
- Product Development and Manufacturing of Lighting products
- IP for ANY Lighting-related Technology, including:
- LED, OLED, Laser, other SSL
- legacy lighting technologies (older than SSL)
- Optics, Photometry, Color Science, Human Factors
- Electronics, Industrial Design, Thermal Management,

My motivation in serving as Expert Witness is to provide objective, reliable, efficient, highly professional testimony in support of clients seeking justice.
