The Challenge

High-stakes patent assertions across the ITC, PTAB, and district courts

Parola Analytics was recently engaged by an Am Law 100 firm, one we have partnered with for many years, representing a leading health technology company facing multiple high-stakes patent assertions from competitors across jurisdictions. The matters involved parallel proceedings before the International Trade Commission (ITC), U.S. district courts, and the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), each with compressed timelines and significant commercial risk.

Knowing your clients pays off

Because of our long-standing relationship with this firm, Parola Analytics brought a deep understanding of their litigation style, expectations, and work product standards from the outset. That familiarity allowed our team to integrate seamlessly with partners and attorneys assigned to each matter, collaborate closely across forums, and operate with speed and precision from day one.

The Solution

Client-focused approach throughout the litigation process

Due to the critical nature of this matter, our team acted as an extension of the firm’s IP and research team, providing daily updates to ensure each search iteration aligned with their standards and changes to their litigation strategy.

Through this iterative and highly collaborative process, Parola Analytics analyzed numerous asserted patents and produced rigorous, litigation-ready prior art references tailored to each proceeding. This efficient, trusted partnership enabled outside counsel to meet aggressive deadlines and support invalidity contentions and related strategies with confidence.

OUR ROLE

Rapid analysis of numerous asserted patents across parallel proceedings

Recognizing the intense pressure and compressed timelines involved, our team worked closely with the firm to align on deadlines and implemented a structured, phased patent invalidity search approach with staggered milestones to maximize coverage and maintain an effective feedback loop.

Close, ongoing collaboration with partners and assigned litigation teams

This close collaboration allowed us to quickly refine the search as the litigation teams’ strategies and focus evolved.

Work product aligned with the firm’s established style, standards, and expectations

Our focus on quality and client-centered approach allowed us to adapt to the firm’s preferred format for result submission and feedback. Our patent analysts presented prior art findings through structured calls, summarizing key points for a more efficient review.
