Docket Alarm is excited to
announce a new search feature that makes researching damages awards and jury
verdicts fast and easy.
Researching dollar amounts in
litigation is a common task, as parties often seek to understand their
potential financial exposure or recovery by analyzing cases similar to their
own. Previously, researching jury
verdicts, damages, or other types of amounts in controversy was arduous. Researchers needed to either go through each
case one-by-one or search for language that was often used in close proximity,
such as the terms “damages” or “award.” Unfortunately, manually reviewing each
document is extremely time consuming, and using too many shortcuts may result
in overlooking relevant documents.
Docket Alarm has solved this
problem.

The Supreme Court announced Monday that
it would agree
to hear part of an appeal filed by Samsung seeking to overturn a $548
million damages award granted to Apple last year. Aside from finally closing
the door on this five-year saga between Apple and Samsung, SCOTUS’s decision is
newsworthy because it’s the first case before the Court involving design
patents since 1894. See Dunlop v.
Schofield, 152 U.S. 244 (1894).
The Court agreed
to hear arguments regarding whether Samsung is liable for all profits from the
sale of phones that infringed on Apple’s design patents, totaling $399 million
dollars, or whether they are liable only for the portion of those profits
attributable to the role those protected design elements played in actual phone
sales.

RFC Express was, until recently, a well-known IP litigation alert provider that offered easy access to case alerts at a reasonable rate. Unfortunately, the service has appeared to have shuttered its doors. Many users stopped receiving case alerts without warning.
Fortunately, former RFC Express users are not left without options. Docket Alarm can meet all of their research needs and much more.
Blazing Fast Alerts Over a Comprehensive Database
Like RFC Express, Docket Alarm offers users access to IP cases from U.S. Federal District Courts.

So called "patent trolls" have been all over the news, and with good reason— these entities pose significant risks to the hi-tech industry. But a new tribunal has been shown to be effective at thwarting patent trolls and other overly aggressive patent owners.
Patent trolls are companies that attempt to monetize patents through litigation, with no interest in commercializing a product or advancing the state-of-the-art.

Yesterday, a federal court issued a major ruling against social
media giant Pinterest in a trademark
infringement lawsuit against much smaller startup Pintrips.
Pinterest is America’s third largest social network behind
Facebook and Twitter. The company is currently valued at $11 billion and has an
estimated 80 million monthly users. Users view, share, and organize content by
creating “pins” on their virtual pin boards.
Pintrips is self-described as a collaborative trip-planning
dashboard for tracking flights and prices across destinations in real time.

What kind of company makes no creative works but earns
millions of dollars a year suing random people on the internet in the name of
copyright law? You guessed it, a copyright troll. Much like patent trolls, copyright trolls are entities
that do not create or distribute creative content, yet acquire copyrights to
creative works in order to file lawsuits against accused infringers.

Commercial banks, investment banks, brokerages, and other
financial institutions spend an inordinate amount of time on due diligence:

There are hundreds of thousands of bankruptcies filed every
year. Banks and other financiers use Docket Alarm to research personal
and commercial bankruptcy records. Financial institutions can easily see if
a potential corporate customer is solvent or has declared bankruptcy in the
past. Using Docket Alarm’s API, searches
can be automated, leading to an enormous savings in efficiency over manual
searching.

recordsinvolving your clients' and debtors’ litigation.

Terms and connectors searching allow users to string
together multiple complex queries. Say you are searching for §112 issues in a
patent case. You may search for “written description invalidity” to find
relevant information. However, this search will return any result that uses
those three words. By using terms and connectors, you can narrow your query:
(written w/3 description) w/10 invalidity. This query indicates that you
are looking for results where the word “description” appears within three words
of “written”, and “invalidity” appears within ten words of that combination.
Terms and connectors searching is also helpful in finding
cases whose characteristics match your own.
