MLex starts AI, intellectual property news services

Regulatory news service MLex said Thursday it has launched services covering artificial intelligence and intellectual property.

The artificial intelligence news service will be run by chief global correspondents Mike Swift and Matthew Newman. It will cover how regulators worldwide are interpreting laws.

“Other news organizations might tell you when a suit is filed or a piece of legislation passes, but for MLex AI that’s just the beginning. Our special sauce is that we’re both global and granular,” says Swift, who has been tracking technology and regulatory trends in Silicon Valley for more than a decade. “Litigation of regulatory enforcement is legal combat, and we bring you every battle, not just who won the war.

The intellectual property service will rely on reporters in North America, the United Kingdom, the European Union and Asia.

 “Because our journalists are on the ground and know the key players in their geography, they take the next step to point out the impact of the rulings, providing practical insights on developments and emerging trends locally, but also working together to pinpoint the global implications — how something like a preliminary injunction entered in Belgium can impact a case that’s pending in California,” said intellectual property managing editor Joan Grossman in a statement.

MLex has more than 70 journalists in 15 bureaus across the world. It publishes more than 100 articles each day.
