Client
IP leader at a Fortune 500 medical device company.
Context
Our client, a defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit, faced claims involving three pharmaceutical drug patents. They initially engaged LitAgility to help invalidate one of these. They had already gathered 22 prior art references but needed a more efficient way to process this information and identify the most relevant evidence. This is a common challenge for defendants in patent litigation, who often struggle to quickly pinpoint strong invalidity arguments from vast amounts of prior art.
How LitAgility Helped
LitAgility streamlined the invalidity analysis. We used our BridgeINDEX™ advanced AI to process and organize the client’s 22 prior art references. Our software then analyzed these results, allowing our team to select the most relevant evidence for each element of the asserted patent’s independent claim. This process ensured that the most pertinent evidence was prioritized, saving time and resources and enabling the client to quickly focus on the most promising invalidity arguments.
Results/Feedback
We summarized and delivered our findings to the client using Bridge IP™, our proprietary software. The client was impressed by the software’s ease of use and LitAgility’s technical analysis. This positive experience led them to adopt the full suite of Bridge software and AI tools for pre- and post-filing work on cases.
