Monthly Document Credits

Say Goodbye to PACER

RPX Insight eliminates the need to go to PACER to access district court and Federal Circuit filings. It provides all district court complaints free of charge, in addition to PTAB and ITC documents, Federal Circuit notices of appeal, as well as patent documents. All other district court and Federal Circuit documents are charged at a 10¢ per page, up to the PACER maximum per document. You will never be charged twice for viewing the same document. Document credits never expire; they are carried forward from month to month and are exercised only after all monthly subscription credit is applied. You can also track your purchased and available document credits and see complete billing and document download histories on the My Account page.

In addition to bibliographic information, such as the patent’s abstract, claims, citations, and specifications, the patent page also includes the complete assignment history and links to assignment documents filed with the USPTO. RPX Insight also irons out data discrepancies related to the original assignee of the patent to tell you the correct “Sponsoring Entity” under which the invention covered by the patent was developed. Additionally, a timeline provides visual context on the assignment and litigation history of the patent.

Chinese Patent Litigation

Patent litigation in China has become an unavoidable prospect for many as a series of systemic reforms—and the temptation of readily available injunctive relief—have helped turn Chinese courts into increasingly attractive forums for patent plaintiffs. To complicate things further, litigation data is rarely available and difficult to turn into actionable intelligence, making it tough for companies to assess their risk in China. Data and intelligence are core to how RPX has brought transparency, rationality, and efficiency to the US patent market. With this integration of Chinese litigation data into RPX Insight, we’re taking further steps to make patent litigation a more transparent process—no matter the venue.

Litigation Results

Dive deep into over 22,000 Chinese patent cases closed since 2006 by viewing judgement documents or quickly get up to speed on cases in the overview section. Also find text translations, party and counsel information, detailed outcomes, and judge facts. chinese_patent_litigation1

Visualize the Data

With a dedicated section under Visual Analytics, explore key metrics including the composition of caseloads for Chinese courts, as well as win rates and remedies at a system-wide-level. chinese_patent_litigation2 RPX’s dataset for Chinese litigation includes cases closed since 2006. As a result of differences in judicial transparency, RPX does not show pending cases, dismissed or settled cases, invalidity actions, or information on lower court decisions after appeal, as complete data in these areas is not presently obtainable.  The only documents made public by the Chinese court system are the judgments themselves; when these are available RPX includes them on the case page. Learn more about the differences between Chinese and US patent litigation.

We identify, study, and track NPEs by conducting an extensive review of state registry records, assignment records, corporate disclosure statements, court filings, financial statements, entity websites, and independent news sources. We then compile all of this information in the form of entity profiles and news updates that are particularly useful for in-house legal counsel or outside counsel in developing a response strategy. Click the “Dossier” button on the top right corner of an NPE’s entity page to download a PDF dossier on the entity.
