Re: Source for copyright statistics?

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts prepares
extensive statistical 
reports on the types of cases filed and terminated in the
district courts and 
courts of appeal, arranged by category of case.

For example, htt
p://www.uscourts.gov/stats/june05/C02jun05.pdf gives the

following data:

Calendar 2004 -- 2,663 copyright cases, 3,046 patent cases,
and 3,580 
trademark cases.

July 2004-June 2005 -- 5,445 copyright cases, 2,788 patent
cases, and 3,576 
trademark cases.

The big spike in copyright cases is likely due to file
sharing and related 
Internet copyright lawsuits. 

AIPLA and the ABA IP section probably summarize this data in
their 
newsletters and give a narrative description of the trends.
