%X in recent years, there has been a massive growth of regulatory and related information available online. this information is distributed across many different domains creating a problem for accessing and managing this data. this paper proposes a framework to access information across two such domains - patents and court cases. the framework is designed to boost the value of a set of patents based on information available in court cases by identifying and cross-referencing mutual information in the two domains. we test our framework by constructing a use case involving the hormone erythropoietin. a corpus of 1150 patents (including 135 closely related patents) and 30 court cases is gathered. challenges associated with such integration and future plans are briefly discussed.
