The Stanford Daily, an online newspaper with news from Stanford University, reports the creation of a spin-off, start-up company Lex Machina which is the result of collaboration between the Law School and Department of Computer Science at Stanford. The focus of the company is to make intellectual property litigation more transparent; it covers patent infringement, copyright, trademark, antitrust, and certain trade secret lawsuits. There are commercial and non-commercial services.
This is an interesting development, particularly in terms of the collaboration between a law school and department of computer science. I hope it is the first of many, and I look forward to learning more about the company and system.
