Mark Lemley, who spearheaded the creation of the Stanford Intellectual Property Litigation Clearinghouse, said he hopes the database provides "systematic information" that can assist attorneys in handling pending cases and policymakers in deciding how to change patent laws..... There are more than 50,000 other cases -- including trademark, copyright, antitrust and trade secrets theft claims -- in the database..."
