ClearstoneIP was founded by patent attorneys and software developers working together to create Clearstone Elements, a legal solution to a technical problem. The platform is an intuitive web-based application using patented functionality that memorializes claim analysis to drastically increase reliability and efficiency in infringement and other claims-based studies (e.g., portfolio monitoring, FTO, etc.). A key secondary feature of Clearstone Elements is the ability to create and preserve product-to-patent mappings that are quickly modifiable based on changes to a product. The platform instantly generates a list of patent documents that become of issue solely due to the product changes.

Docket Navigator tracks significant events in patent infringement cases in U.S. district courts, the International Trade Commission, and the Patent Trial and Appeals Board. Docket sheets are reviewed daily for every patent case in order to choose significant orders and pleadings. Orders that provide particular insight to patent practitioners are summarized and categorized by type of motion and legal issue. All patent numbers asserted or challenged in the cases since the year 2000 are entered into the database, as is every claim term construed by the courts. This carefully curated data is then searchable by multiple criteria in the Docket Navigator database.
