Definitions

Case

A case is defined as a dispute between a patent holder and a third party. Darts-ip collects information on patent cases around the world. Different documents are available, ranging from decisions in most jurisdictions to even complaints and hearings in the main IP forums.

Patent related decisions, complaint, or hearing are grouped at case level. So if at least one of the latter is identified and collected on a given dispute, the case is accounted for.

Different documents provide different types of information. The complaints allow Darts-ip to identify the start of a case, the parties involved, court and oftentimes the patent at stake or type of action; the hearings allow Darts-ip to identify the that there is an ongoing case between two parties at a given court; and decisions allow Darts-ip to identify the decisions on the legal outcome, the case winner and the validity outcome.
