Lex Machina Releases Expanded Legal Analytics for PTAB
Lex Machina, a LexisNexis company and creator of Legal Analytics, has introduced unprecedented new data about trials before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) offering unique new ways to visualize and analyze the information, the company says in a release.
In addition to providing lawyers with the ability to uncover strategic insights about parties, judges, law firms, attorneys, patents, and arguments involved in PTAB cases, the enhanced Legal Analytics for PTAB offering includes new claims-level findings about trial institution, settlement, disclaimer and ultimate patentability.
The new functionality allows attorneys to answer questions such as:
- How often has a specific law firm succeeded at instituting trials for petitioners?
- Does a specific judge rely on §103 (non-obvious patent subject matter) in institution decisions or final decisions more often than other judges?
- What is the success rate of a specific party in obtaining decisions to deny institution of new trials?
