Ex Parte vs LegalLink

Ex Parte is a web platform for finding vulnerabilities that may affect legal cases. It provides a permissioned workspace for each matter, with reports that connect findings to source pages, lines, and citations. Specialized agents examine examiner search logs, prosecution history amendments, and gaps between complaint allegations and patent specifications. The company says a quality-review agent checks findings against primary sources before delivery. Its knowledge graph draws on sources including USPTO file wrappers, PTAB proceedings, PACER filings, court opinions and dockets, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, PubMed, and SEC EDGAR. Ex Parte says its entity graph contains more than 2 billion entities and its knowledge graph maps more than 2 billion relationships among patents, parties, counsel, judges, and outcomes. It identifies law firms, corporate counsel, litigation finance, hedge funds, insurers, and universities as potential users. Pricing is on request; a free trial is available without a credit card. Trial use is for internal evaluation, may be limited or suspended, and offers no service levels or support. Trial outputs may contain errors and require independent verification.
