(Nasdaq:UBIC) (TSE:2158), a leading provider of international litigation support and big-data analysis services, today announced it was granted a U.S. patent recognizing the Company's development of unique information technology used in the archiving and retrieval of historical information related to the legal discovery process. The patent number 8793277 was assigned by the U.S. Patent Office and this patent will be issued on July 29, 2014. "UBIC is quickly amassing an impressive patent portfolio and continues to execute its intellectual property strategy by obtaining patents through fast-track procedures; namely, the Accelerated Examination system in Japan and the Patent Prosecution Highway in the United States," UBIC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Masahiro Morimoto said. UBIC's Custodian Mapping is integrated into the company's Lit i View data analysis platform.
