“We are the only legal technology provider that gathers IP case law data worldwide in a detailed and organized manner and as such, we will be well-positioned alongside the range of trusted, global IP solutions from Clarivate,” said Evrard van Zuylen, Managing Director, Darts-ip. “Traditionally, global case law data was not indexed for IP research and often not available digitally, making research difficult. Our AI-driven solutions and analytics enable IP professionals to make more informed decisions through contextual data, making them a great fit for Clarivate’s wide range of IP offerings. We are proud to become part of a global organization with a great heritage in patents, trademarks and domains.”
