Lex Machina, a provider of intellectual property litigation data analytics, introduced two new improvements to its Legal Analytics platform that lets lawyers surface litigation data specific to a set of cases, besides the data analytics focused on courts and judges.
Lex Machina mines IP litigation data from PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records system), the U.S. International Trade Commission’s Electronic Documents Information System and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. It cleans the data (e.g., normalizes party names and standardizes case tags) and builds metadata sets that become the target of its legal analytics platform.
