Facing a potential patent infringement lawsuit can cripple a company’s future. For Levenfeld Pearlstein, a Chicago law firm, this means analyzing mountains of data in a race against time for their clients facing a critical lawsuit. Mitchell Weinstein, a seasoned partner with a legal and engineering background, knew the battle would hinge on efficiently dissecting complex patent information. However, traditional methods proved inadequate. Mitchell relied on clunky USPTO databases and general Google searches, a slow and frustrating process that limited his ability to effectively serve his clients.
“The searching capabilities on the USPTO database are limited,” Mitchell explains.
Patsnap’s arrival marked a turning point. Instead of having to wait several weeks to outsource a search, “I can jump on Patsnap and have answers for my clients in seconds,” Mitchell says. “The data is at my fingertips.” This efficiency allows Mitchell to make better answers for faster decisions, so he can focus on what matters most: delivering strategic advice to his clients.

Patsnap’s intuitive search, advanced filtering, and insightful claim charting tools transformed Mitchell’s workflow. In one instance, a client faced potential infringement from a family of 13 patents. “Patsnap’s claim trees were tremendously helpful,” Mitchell explains. “They allowed me to focus on the claims that might be of issue and eliminate those that weren’t. This enabled me to provide the client with well-informed advice, so they were clear to do what they wanted to do.”
Mitchell’s admiration for Patsnap extends to its customer service “I’ve trusted Patsnap for years, not just for the database, but for the dedicated team behind it.” he says. “The Patsnap team is always there to help me refine searches or answer any questions I have.”
