RESEARCH

Faster and smarter than ever before

To date, we have reviewed and flagged 6.7 million docket entries and we’ve processed nearly 600,000 court orders. Those are huge numbers considering how much detailed data (up to 29 different fields) we record for each one. If we multiply the number of processed decisions by the number of data fields we could enter for each one, it adds up to around 17 million possible data items.

Our system allows users to slice and dice those 17 million possibilities to find exactly what they are looking for.

Detailed Taxonomies

Type of Document

Many filters are supported by detailed legal taxonomies used to classify and normalize data across jurisdictions. They are extremely granular and make complicated research easier than ever before. For example, the Type of Document taxonomy contains more than 700 different motion types organized by topic.

Legal Issue

Modern patent litigation involves a significant number of substantive and procedural legal concepts. That’s why the Legal Issue taxonomy contains more than 1,600 legal concepts.

Posture of Motion

The Posture of Motion filter focuses on the manner in which a motion was presented. This gives users considerable power over their research. Want to find only orders on stipulated/agreed motions? To exclude them? It’s just a click away.

Precision Searches

Combine the power of multiple search filters with the precision of detailed taxonomies to quickly find specific types of decisions. To see some examples on how filters fit together to answer complex questions, click on one of these example research goals:
