スタンフォードIP訴訟DBの無料アクセスに制限が。。。

先日、下記メールが届きました。
このブログの右側にリンクをのせています、IP訴訟DB使用に制限がかかるようです。
これまでは登録すれば誰でも使用することができましたが11月からは非商用使用を
証明できるもののみ使用できることになるようです。
商用で使いたい場合は
Lex Machinaを使ってくださいということです。
このDB連邦地裁のIP訴訟の状況がわかって、統計データの収集には結構便利でした
のでちょっと残念です。

やっぱり、不景気の影響ですこしでも費用回収しなきゃということなのでしょうかね。
このDBへのリンクは近いうちに消す予定です。


Stanford IP Litigation Clearinghouse account expiring

Dear IPLC User,

Our records indicate that you have an account with the Stanford IP Litigation Clearinghouse (“IPLC”). We thank you for registering with and using the IPLC, and we hope that the website has been useful to you thus far. Since its creation, the IPLC has been growing rapidly in depth and features. However, free access to the IPLC is reserved for non-commercial uses only. Because of this limitation in our terms of use, we will unfortunately be unable to keep providing you access without a demonstrated need for non-commercial access.

The IPLC does, however, have a commercial analog with advanced capabilities, called Lex Machina, which is currently available to law firms and other commercial users. Lex Machina is a powerful new tool for IP lawyers that can dramatically increase research intelligence and improve new business development success rates. Lex Machina contains all of the same features as the IPLC, plus much more advanced functionality such as law firm profiles and the ability to perform targeted searches for orders granted or denied.

If you are interested in Lex Machina, please get in touch with us, and we can provide you with more information, including a quick tour of the system and our services over web conference. We would also be happy to send you some introductory information about Lex Machina. Our pricing structures are competitive with the industry.

We will keep your IPLC account active until October 31, 2009. However, we can extend such access for a reasonable period if we can schedule a Lex Machina demo for your organization. So please get in touch!

Best regards,
David
