Patent litigation monitoring for IP counsel

Same-day patent suits.
Patents, products, and a briefing.

Filed August 26. This is the actual level of detail we deliver on every suit we cover — not a case number and two party names.

W.D. TEX. · 1:26-CV-02342 · FILED 2026-08-26

QuickVault, Inc. v. International Business Machines Corporation

Product(s) accused: Guardium

Patents asserted: 10999300 · 11637840 · 11895125 · 12363134 · 9565200 · 9961092

Allegation summary drawn from the complaint; not evidence of wrongdoing. Case number and parties verified against PACER/CourtListener. Every patent links directly to its record on Google Patents so you can check it yourself.

NPE LIKELY · 9

Burst count alone does not label a plaintiff as an NPE. Operating companies (e.g. pharma ANDA campaigns) stay unclassified; name pattern + volume escalates to npe_likely. The rows above are real, recently filed suits — case number and parties verified against PACER/CourtListener. Judge, counsel, patents, and accused products are available in-app; every filing stays in the database permanently.

THE ACTUAL LAG, NOT A MARKETING NUMBER

Filed 8/26. In your inbox 8/26.

On general-purpose research platforms: often still not fully indexed a week later. We're not faster because we cut corners — we're faster because same-day monitoring is the product, not a feature bolted onto an archive.

A report they cannot pull on day one.

Separate from the filings search. Open Briefings, enter a docket, a patent, a product or a company. Leave with a memo you can send.

Patent

Patent briefing

How many suits name this patent, which patents ride with it, which products are accused, and a plain-English trigger for each case.

Company

Company briefing

How often they are sued or filing, whether it is a wave, related cases, and the patents and products in play.

Docket

Case briefing

This suit plus related cases, wave context, asserted patents, accused products, and what triggered the filing. Export PDF or CSV.

Product

Product briefing

Every suit naming this product: which patents keep coming back, how many times, and how fast — the pattern behind repeat targeting, not just a case count.

Seventeen venues. New patent complaints.

More than a case list.

NPE flag

npe_candidate from name patterns; npe_likely when pattern and same-day volume agree. Known operating companies are denylisted so they are not mislabeled.

Same-day wave

How many suits that plaintiff filed the same day — always visible, even when the name does not match an NPE pattern.

Accused products

What the complaint says is accused — product lines, not just a patent number — on the filing and in the briefing. We do not invent a product that is not in the paper.

Co-asserted patents

Which other patents travel with this one across suits, so you see the campaign, not a single number.

Judge & firm analytics

See which judges are handling the most patent litigation, whether a plaintiff keeps drawing the same judge, and which firms are filing — or being targeted — most often.

Allegations

A plain-English line on what's actually being alleged — not just that a suit was filed.

Verification

Docket number, case number, and parties are matched against PACER and CourtListener. Asserted patents, accused products, and allegation summaries are confirmed before they reach the feed.

Source links

Every row links back to its original docket on CourtListener, and every asserted patent links to Google Patents.

Don't check the feed. Get told.

Set a watchlist once. Alerts appear in the product and go to your inbox the same day.

TRIGGER: NEW SUIT AGAINST A COMPANY

Company sued

Get notified the day a specific company — yours, a competitor, a portfolio company — is named as a defendant in a new patent suit.

TRIGGER: NEW FILING BY A PLAINTIFF

Plaintiff files

Track a specific NPE or operating plaintiff and get an alert the moment they file again, anywhere in our coverage.

TRIGGER: NEW FILING BY A FIRM

Law firm files

Watch a plaintiff-side firm's activity across every client they represent, not just one case at a time.

TRIGGER: 2+ SUITS, SAME PLAINTIFF, SAME DAY

Burst filing

Get flagged the day a plaintiff files multiple suits at once — a pattern worth knowing about whether or not it's an NPE.

Simple on purpose.

No warehouse setup required. Open the app, filter, export — or generate a briefing.

Pull

We pull daily

New nature-of-suit 830 filings from 17 high-volume patent districts, cross-checked so patent and product detail show up ahead of general indexing.

Filter

You filter

By month, court, plaintiff type, or name. Spot campaigns and emerging filers without a research platform.

Alert

You get told

Watchlist alerts land in the product and in email the same day a watched company, plaintiff, firm, or burst hits.

Brief

You generate a briefing

Patent, company, or docket in. Suits, co-asserted patents, accused products, and trigger summaries out. PDF or CSV.

What we are. What we're deliberately not.

We are

An early-warning radar for new patent suits across 17 high-volume districts — same-day parties, patents, accused products, and allegations — plus a briefing generator that turns a patent, company, or docket into a shareable PDF.

We are not

A research archive. We're not trying to out-database a full-docket platform — that's a different product. Deep history predating our launch still belongs there. We'd rather be the fastest narrow tool than a slow broad one.

We'd rather show you a gap than guess.

Speed only matters if what we publish is right. An enrichment field goes live only once it's confirmed.

What we won't do

When a judge hasn't been assigned yet, the filing shows "Unassigned Judge" — not a guess, not the judge from a related case. It stays that way until the court assigns one.

What it takes to publish

Docket number and party names are matched against PACER/CourtListener first. Patent numbers, accused products, and allegation summaries are confirmed from the complaint and independent sources before they hit the feed.

Common questions.

How fast do new filings show up?

Filings are pulled and reviewed on a same-day basis for the 17 venues we cover. Patent-level detail — asserted patents, accused products, and a short allegation line — is confirmed from the complaint and outside sources before it is published.

What is a briefing?

A briefing is a separate report from the live filings feed. Look up a patent, a company, or a docket and export a shareable PDF or CSV with related suits, co-asserted patents, accused products, wave context, and a plain-English read of what triggered each filing.

Do you capture accused products?

Yes, when the complaint names them. Accused products appear on the filing and in the briefing. We do not invent a product that is not in the paper.

What does NPE candidate vs. NPE likely mean?

NPE candidate is a name-pattern signal only. NPE likely requires both a matching name pattern and same-day filing volume at or above our burst threshold. Known operating companies are denylisted so they're never mislabeled — a burst by itself never creates an NPE label.

Which courts are covered?

E.D. Texas, D. Delaware, N.D. California, C.D. California, W.D. Texas, N.D. Illinois, D. New Jersey, S.D. New York, N.D. Texas, S.D. Florida, W.D. Washington, D. Massachusetts, E.D. Michigan, E.D. New York, S.D. California, E.D. Virginia, and N.D. Georgia.

Is this a replacement for PACER or full-docket research platforms?

No. Filings stay in the database permanently — growing daily from launch forward, not decades back. For deep historical research or courts outside these 17 venues, a full-docket platform is still the right tool.

How do you verify details that aren't available on PACER?

Docket number, case number, and party names are matched against PACER and CourtListener. Asserted patents, accused products, and allegation summaries come from the complaint and independent sourcing and are confirmed before they reach the feed. Every docket links to CourtListener; every asserted patent links to Google Patents.

Can I get alerted automatically instead of checking the dashboard?

Yes. Watchlist alerts show in the product and are emailed to you. Solo includes up to five alerts. Studio includes up to ten. Team and above include unlimited alerts when a company is sued, a plaintiff or firm files, or a plaintiff files a same-day burst.
