Fastcase is going after Canadian AI startup Alexi for allegedly turning a limited-use licensing deal into a full competitor platform using their case law database. The lawsuit dropped in Washington, DC claims the Toronto outfit violated the 2021 agreement by building their legal research tool off Fastcase data instead of keeping it internal, and then slapped Fastcase trademarks on the interface to look legit. Fastcase got absorbed into vLex before Clio bought the whole operation for a billion bucks.
Alexi CEO Mark Doble says the accusations are total nonsense and that his company stayed within the contract terms the entire time. Clio backed up the lawsuit by saying they take intellectual property theft seriously and have systems to track how licensed content gets used.
