Darts-ip’s case law database brings more than three million cases from over 3,000 courts to 30,000 IP professionals, every day. Darts-ip was built on the belief that case law is powerful, and that this power should be leveraged to its fullest extent. Accessibility is the key: the inability to rapidly find comprehensive information from any jurisdiction has hindered IP professionals’ ability to effectively deploy the full power of case law in their daily practice. Our exclusive document-gathering structure combined with our unique analysis capabilities provides an unprecedented collection of IP case data. Darts-ip leverages the power of case law.
