Alexi Technologies has filed its answer and counterclaim against Fastcase, vLex, and Clio, accusing the newly merged legal technology giant of manufacturing breach-of-contract allegations as a pretext to eliminate a competitor in the AI legal research market. In December, , sued Fastcase, now owned by ClioAlexi in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, alleging breach of contract, trademark infringement and trade secret misappropriation, all relating to Alexi's use of data licensed from Fastcase.

The court found that venue is justified to be in Michigan because defendants United Wholesale Mortgage, AIME's main sponsor, and Sarah DeCiantis, UWM's executive vice president and chief marketing officer, reside there, while Sweeney is a Texas resident. The parties also demonstrated in the filing that transferring the case would be for the convenience of parties and witnesses in the interest of justice. As a result, the case is now awaiting a new case number.

We are gratified that the Court saw through Mr. Hernandez's baseless and harassing claims and recognized the truth about the abuse suffered by Senator Rubio, said Allen Secretov, lead counsel for the Rubios, in a statement. This complete legal victory not only clears the names of Senator Susan Rubio and Assemblymember Blanca Rubio, but also sends a strong message that they will not be intimidated by false and malicious litigation.
