==Lex Machina==

===Task===

Use Patent Portfolio Report to pull unique patent numbers for patents litigated in 2015

===Steps Taken===

#Filtered Lex Machina until total patents were under 2000.
#Lex Machina ran its Patent Portfolio Report
#Ctrl-A to select all, then pasted into TextPad
*Patent numbers were the first word in every line
#Used replace command (F8) to find "(^.+?)\s.*$" and replace with "\1"
*Make sure "regular expression" is checked off
#That left only the patent numbers
#Repeated above steps until all 2015 patents are in TextPad
#Exported data to Excel and then Removed Duplicates (Data --> Remove Duplicates)
