Stanford To Unveil IP Litigation Clearinghouse

December 5, 2008

Stanford University Law School's Law, Science & Technology Program will launch an intellectual property litigation clearinghouse on Monday -- a first-of-its-kind online database that offers comprehensive information about IP feuds in the United States. The publicly available research tool will enable scholars, policymakers, lawyers, judges and reporters to review real-time data about IP disputes that have been filed across the country and analyze the efficacy of the system that regulates patents, copyrights, trademarks, antitrust, and trade secrets.

The clearinghouse will include data summaries, industry indices, and trend analysis together with a full-text search engine, providing detailed and timely information that cannot be found elsewhere in the public domain, officials said. Stanford Law School, along with its partner organizations (Cisco Systems, Oracle, Qualcomm, Intel, SAP and others) which funded the development and provided insight, will release the database in phased modules. The first includes more than 23,000 cases filed in U.S. district courts since 2000. Read more here.
