Previously, we wrote about the Europe-based Darts-IP intellectual property search database.  This interesting service now encompasses US cases in its search universe and is set to be a valuable tool for in-house trademark counsel, trademark attorneys, and even academic research purposes.  Specifically, the USA case law database includes:

Administrative decisions:

  • All recent TTAB cases (precedential & non precedential) published on TTAB platform, all important precedential TTAB cases

Judicial decisions:

  • All relevant published and unpublished cases since 2002, all relevant published cases prior to 2002

As far as the patent side of the equation, the resources there include:

Patent – USA – Case law database

Administrative decisions:

  • All recent BPAI cases (precedential & non precedential) published on BPAI platform, all important precedential BPAI cases are being collected

Judicial decisions:

  • All relevant published and unpublished cases since 2002, all published cases prior to 2002.

Seems like a powerful place to research, so here’s the link: http://www.darts-ip.com/world/.

David was asked to present a workshop on the topic of The 10 Most Common Mistakes in IP Valuation, guiding  valuation practitioners, licensing executives, and IP counsel in navigating through complex reports to assess the most useful information needed to support the decision making process in business worldwide.  During the workshop, with the participation of subject matter experts Dwight Olson and  Eduardo de Mello e Souza, the topics covered included the problems, requirements and common inadequacies in the following aspects of intellectual property valuation assessments:

  • Standard of Value
  • Treatment of Tax Effects
  • Input Selection Problems
  • Distinction between IP Value and Business Value
  • Sufficiency of Detailed Context Information
  • Comparability of Market Transactions
  • Profiling Risk
