Access the largest patent cases database
Darts-ip is the leading source of global patent case data, litigation trends and insights. With 2.3M+ patent cases gathered thus far from 140 countries, it is far more complete than any local database and provides access to global patent litigation data, trends, and insights.
Why do you need a global patent cases database? Global patent case data and litigation insights have strong potential in your toolbox, but you have to access different sources to get limited results and fragmented information. Only a global structured patent cases database with patent-specific search tools can help you leverage the full power of case data, trends, and insights.

The search tools you need to find the relevant cases in minutes
Because our sole focus is on IP cases, we have developed the tools patent specialists need to search and find exactly what they are looking for.
- Global patent family search: Search for decisions about a certain patent and on its worldwide family.
- Damage search: Search for decisions based on the amount of damages attributed.
- EPO filter: Search for EPO decisions using technical board reference and distribution code as filters.
- Active ingredient search: With the active ingredient search, find all decisions in the world on patents protecting chemical drugs, biologics (e.g. Trastuzumab, Sofosbuvir), veterinary drugs, and vaccines (source: orange book).
- NPE filter: Narrow your results to decisions involving parties identified as Non-Practicing Entity (NPE) by our proprietary algorithm.
- Claim construction search: Search for decisions in which a specific term has been defined.
Data extraction is the key
Once a document is gathered, such as a decision, it’s analyzed by a local patent specialist. When we extract data from legal documents, patent cases documents become data that is accessible, searchable, and mineable.
