Use of the Darts-ip litigation database for preparing a patent challenge

Case study by Bart van den Hazel, European Patent Attorney.

As a long time user of the Darts-ip case law database, Dr. van den Hazel has developed strong search strategies to invalidate a patent application.

Through this webinar he will demonstrate the great value of a comprehensive IP litigation database for preparing a patent challenge. We’ll focus on four Darts-ip database tools that are useful for this task :

1. Patent number search – to find cases on foreign equivalents
2. Free text search – to find technically similar cases
3. Points of law search – to find useful Case Law on a specific legal topic
4. Claim construction search – to find useful Case Law on the definition of a term given by a judge
