Intellectual Property litigation presents several unique discovery and review challenges for the involved attorneys, law firms, in-house counsel, and review teams. Legal issues can involve not only of patent, copyright, and trademark law, but complex contract, joint venture, development, and entity issues. In addition, data portability, work-from-home, bring your own device (BYOD) programs, and data governance policies typically require the assistance of digital forensic investigators in order to effectively collect the evidence needed for IP cases. IP matters often involve large amounts of electronically stored information (ESI) that can account for millions of pages of documents.
Modern IP cases are often international in scope. The subject matter being disputed in IP cases can be highly variable, with litigation spanning industries like biotechnology and pharmaceuticals to electronics manufacturing and advanced software algorithms.
What most IP cases do have in common is a high level of data complexity, usually involving multiple parties, custodians, experts, document sources, and data formats. Federal courts handling a large amount of IP cases may include compliance with local rules concerning specific eDiscovery or production requirements that must be met.
We help IP legal teams successfully handle document intensive matters with limited resources.
From a state-of-the-art digital forensics lab to our end-to-end eDiscovery platform, Lexbe equips you with everything you need to successfully build your strongest case.

Digital Forensic Investigators
IP matters often involve the exfiltration of data. With the use of smartphones, data has never been more portable. Our digital forensic investigators are Cellebrite certified and have advanced capabilities for collecting from smartphones, corporate IT systems, and common IP evidentiary sources, like CRM systems (Salesforce) and collaboration platforms (Slack, Microsoft Teams).

High Speed ESI Processing
Hosted in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud, the Lexbe eDiscovery Platform (LEP) gets you from document ingestion to early case insights and document review at lightning speeds. LEP auto-scales to handle TBs of data with ease. In addition, Lexbe has engineered the ESI processing to be highly efficient, including native character extraction, metadata extraction, optical character recognition (OCR), indexing, normalized PDF generation, deNIST, and deduplication. Because our processing is so efficient, we pass the cost savings onto clients and don't charge for ESI processing for subscription accounts; this typically saves clients tens of thousands of dollars.

Advanced Analytics
LEP provides you with rapid insight into the key documents. Our advanced search term report gives you instant access to relevant documents. The Lexbe Near Duplication algorithm helps you quickly prioritize similar evidentiary documents which can facilitate populating the facts and issues while generating a dynamic case timeline. If you've got millions of documents then our Bayesian predictive coding algorithm can efficiently help you cull down the document set to those relevant to the case.

Language Detection & Translation
LEP utilizes an advanced artificial intelligence algorithm to detect and translate foreign language documents with a high degree of fluency and fidelity. For IP matters that cross borders, this is an invaluable tool to help maintain control of the case and keep it in-house. Lexbe's machine translation supports 75 different languages.
