Copyrights — data extracted

Once a document is gathered, such as a decision, it’s analyzed by a local copyright specialist. Our global team of analysts read case documents every day and extract precious data from them. When we extract data from legal documents, intellectual property cases become data that is accessible, searchable, and mineable.

  • Courts: Search decisions of specific courts.
  • Party names: Search by name (as plaintiff or defendant).
  • Type of action: Infringement, action linked to a contract or criminal actions.
  • Points of law: Search decisions by legal topic (originality, authorship, reproduction, neighboring rights, etc…)
  • Dates & reference: Search decisions by date, date range or the commonly used name of a particular case.
  • Outcome: Who won or lost the case.
  • Artworks: All copyright protected works are cataloged by type of work and relevant comparisons.
  • Settlement: Was the action withdrawn, and was it through a settlement?

 

 

Tailor-made search tools

Copyright professionals require insights to both civil and common law case documents. Such a large data set can make it hard to find and utilize what you need. Our purpose built catalog and cross-referenced points of law make finding the right cases easy.
