History


Lex Machina initially began in 2006 as a public interest project at Stanford University by Professor Mark Lemley and co-founders George Gregory and Joshua Walker.[6] The project was developed within the university's law school and computer science department under the IP Litigation Clearinghouse (IPLC) project.[4] Lex Machina was incorporated in 2008 and launched the following year.[7][8] The name "Lex Machina" is a Latin phrase meaning "law machine" that Walker had used in a research paper he wrote in 2004. Walker was named the CEO of the company until venture capitalist Josh Becker took over in 2011.[2] In 2015 the company was acquired by LexisNexis.[1]



Company developments


Lex Machina is based in Menlo Park, just north of Palo Alto and Stanford.[9] While still a public interest project at Stanford, Lex Machina generated approximately $3 million in donations.[6] In 2012, the company reportedly received $2 million in funding led by X/Seed Capital Management.[8] Lex Machina generated another $4.8 million in a Series A round of funding in 2013 led by Cue Ball Capital.[10]



Services


Lex Machina has developed a catalog of legal data derived from court cases and documents on intellectual property law.[11] The information is compiled together and converted into searchable text files that clients access through a search engine.[11] The majority of the data provided by the SaaS program is optimized for patent information, copyrights, antitrust cases, and trademarks.[12] Lawyers can use the information to learn more about judges, examine client histories, and predict potential case outcomes by searching for similar patents cases and outcomes.[11][12]


The services Lex Machina provides can be used within a variety of industries and the company has had clients ranging from law firms to companies such as eBay, Microsoft, and Shire Pharmaceuticals.[10] Lex Machina allows academic institutions, federal courts, and other public-interest entities to access its services for free.[5]
