Lex Machina released its second annual Patent Litigation Year in Review Thursday, publishing data that confirms 2014 was a historic year in which the subject of patent litigation and patent reform spread from corporations and law firms to Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court.
Lex Machina’s report shows that the number of new patent cases filed last year fell by 21 percent from 2013. Much of the decrease came in the second half of the year, after the high court issued its decision on patentable subject matter in Alice v. CLS Bank. This was a trend the legal analytics company first identified in a report released last fall.
