The Lex Machina Patent Report reveals a 22% rise in patent case filings in 2024, moving away from high-volume plaintiffs to a varied mix of cases, including ANDA and design patent filings. Notably, the report categorizes the prior year's decline in filings as primarily due to high-volume plaintiffs. It also observes EDTX's renewed dominance in patent litigation and speculates how PTAB adjustments might solidify its status. Despite the surge, 2024's figures still do not meet the pre-2023 averages, highlighting ongoing shifts in the patent litigation landscape.
"The 2024 report shows a notable surge in filings from plaintiffs who are not classified as high-volume plaintiffs, fueling a 22% increase in cases from 2023."
"The overall volume of patent complaints in 2024 still fell short of the three-year average of 3,930 filings observed from 2020 through 2022."
