LitiDesign
An innovative intellectual property solution
Quantify the judicial risk in counterfeiting litigation
LitiDesign is an artificial intelligence solution designed to accurately assess the legal risks associated with design and model counterfeiting litigation cases.By combining legal expertise with advanced artificial intelligence technologies, this solution provides unrivalled decision support.
A collaboration between experts
The result of a collaboration between De Gaulle Fleurance & Associés and Case Law Analytics, LitiDesign is based on an in-depth analysis of several hundred court decisions, assessed using over 70 criteria:
- Legal basis used and upheld.
- Jurisdiction that ruled.
- Amount of damages requested and awarded.
Case Law Analytics’ legal analysts have mobilized their expertise in artificial intelligence to transform a statistical tool initially designed by De Gaulle Fleurance & Associés into a high-performance machine. In this way, LitiDesign anticipates the risks of litigation, while at the same time providing insight into strategies for registering and protecting creations.
A comprehensive, proven tool
LitiDesign follows on from an initial fruitful collaboration between De Gaulle Fleurance & Associés and Case Law Analytics, which gave rise to Litimark®, a solution specialized in quantifying the risk of trademark counterfeiting.
Tailor-made decision support
“Today, our customers expect more than purely legal advice,” underlines Serge Lederman, partner at De Gaulle Fleurance & Associés. “With LitiDesign, we can answer their questions about their chances of success, or about the potential amount of a conviction. This solution enriches and objectifies our analyses and recommendations. However, it remains a tool that only a seasoned professional can make full use of. AI does not replace the lawyer, but amplifies his or her ability to analyze and advise.”
Reliable, tailored algorithms
Jacques Lévy-Véhel, President of Case Law Analytics, adds: “Co-developing a module with a specialized law firm guarantees the reliability and suitability of our products for the practice of legal professionals. With LitiDesign, the challenge was to build a robust artificial intelligence from a limited number of decisions, while integrating a wide range of criteria to characterize each case.”
Case study
Imagine a luxury company that has created a bag and accuses another well-known company in the market of copying it. The shape and color are similar, but there are other significant differences. The copied bag was the subject of numerous press articles. Damages of up to 300,000 euros are claimed for this infringement. In order to assess its damages, the plaintiff would provide relevant accounting documents. LitiDesign would indicate the plaintiff company’s chances of success, as well as the average amount of damages likely or unlikely to be awarded. This “objective” data, combined with the litigation experience of the defendant’s lawyer, enables the latter to be advised as to the provision to be made in the accounts and/or to recommend an out-of-court settlement with the opposing party for an amount slightly lower than the average amount of convictions displayed by LitiDesign.
