Using Docket Alarm to Research an Expert on PACER
In high
stakes litigation, an expert’s testimony can be determinative of the outcome of
a case. It is of the utmost importance to ensure your expert is not only
qualified and experienced in their area of expertise, but has offered credible
testimony in past litigation
Using Docket
Alarm, you can quickly search for a particular individual and find all of their
litigation history in the US Court PACER database. Using terms and connectors,
you can conduct
a search of PACER dockets and documents that leverages the relationship
between the expert’s name and keywords indicative of the expert’s credibility.
Docket Alarm can conduct natural language searches and terms and
connectors searches. Searching with natural language is easy, just type
what you’re looking for and we’ll find the most relevant documents.
Terms and connectors searching provides a high level of precision that can help narrow down search results. Docket Alarm supports many terms and connectors, including Boolean, proximity, stemming, wildcard, and phrase searches.

Docket Alarm is proud to announce the release of its search engine for the Patent Trial Appeal Board.It is currently the only search engine dedicated solely to PTAB decisions, providing instant access to every docket and document produced by the PTAB, including every decision, petition, motion and most exhibits. The PTAB search engine allows you to search dockets, documents or both dockets and documents simultaneously.
The PTAB Improves on Federal District Court Shortcomings
The Patent Trial and Appeal Board was created in response to the America Invents Act (AIA) and opened for business on September 16, 2012.The court is now the newest venue to challenge patent validity.
One advantage to challenging a patent in the PTAB over Federal District Courts is that the patent is not presumed to be valid as it is in District Court litigation, which can be incredibly difficult for challengers to overcome.
We are proud to announce the Docket Alarm has entered private beta. Select users can enter the site and get updates to all Federal Court litigation and I.T.C. litigation. As we gain more confidence in the system, we will be opening it up to more users. If you would like to be included in the beta program, please email admin@docketalarm.com.
