Stanford IP Litigation Clearinghouse
Overview
Created by the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology under the lead of LST faculty director Mark Lemley, IPLC Executive Director Joshua Walker, and in collaboration with the Stanford Department of Computer Science, IPLC is designed to make IP litigation more transparent, covering all (1) patent infringement, (2) manifest copyright, (3) manifest trademark, (4) manifest antitrust, and (5) certain trade secret lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court from January 1, 2000 to the present.
Officially launched in December 2008, the Stanford IPLC has recently finished the largest IP outcomes study in the history of the United States, for over 21,500 patent infringement outcomes. Over 5,000 IP experts and government end users have thus far benefitted from the site as of October, 31, 2009 , including the White House, Department of Commerce, U.S. District Courts, the Federal Circuit, IPLC advisor groups, over 200 academics, company and law firm supporters, non-profit lawyers, the National Academies, the National Science Foundation, the FTC, and the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The IPLC is the most comprehensive source of data available on over 100,000 intellectual property cases. The site is available to academics, students, government users, and press for free at http://lexmachina.stanford.edu. Commercial users can subscribe at http://lexmachina.com.
