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  • All relevant published and unpublished cases since 2002, all relevant published cases prior to 2002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  • All relevant published and unpublished cases since 2002, all published cases prior to 2002.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

The inaugural MCLE @ the Ballpark presentation last night was well attended by San Diego IP attorneys.  The 1-hour MCLE presentation on Intellectual Property Valuation Techniques covered the importance of context, methodological nuances, and offered key points to look out for, as well as an engaged Q&A session.  After the presentation, the attendees were treated to a great ballgame from the tower suite witnessing the Padres prevail over the Brewers and even a home run right into the Western Metal Supply building rounding out the experience.
