EINPresswire/ -- IntrepidX announced today that it has won the 2025 Relativity Innovation Award for Best Innovation: Workflows for its Hatch-Waxman Pipeline Protection & Redaction Workflow, recognized during Relativity Fest in Chicago this week.

IntrepidX’s winning workflow tackles one of Pharma litigation’s knottiest problems: protecting the drug-development pipeline while moving at production speed. Built on Relativity, it marries AI-guided prioritization with precise, at-scale redaction so legal teams can move faster, spend less, and reduce risk—without compromising defensibility.

Hatch-Waxman matters contain sensitive references to drug candidates, R&D strategy, and privileged material. IntrepidX pairs Relativity Review Center’s AI/Continuous Active Learning (CAL) with inverse-redaction and automated metadata scrubbing to surface the right documents early and lock down what shouldn’t be disclosed. Drug and pipeline terms are tagged (including via hashed-value indexing), inverse-redaction preserves only approved content—even across large spreadsheets—and metadata rules remove privileged or non-responsive artifacts at scale. The result is a defensible, layered workflow that produces clean, court-ready outputs in hours instead of weeks.

“Our mandate was simple: protect client IP at enterprise speed without sacrificing defensibility,” said Catherine (“Cat”) Pray, Senior Director Managed Review at IntrepidX. “By combining CAL-guided review with precise inverse-redaction and automated metadata hygiene, we’ve turned a brittle, manual process into an industrial-grade workflow. Clients are seeing faster productions, cleaner privilege outcomes, and real cost containment.” 


“I’m incredibly proud of this team,” said Parkash Khatri, CEO of IntrepidX. “Our reviewers, project managers, operations and project team all rallied around a single goal: keep the pipeline protected while moving at the speed of modern litigation. It’s an honor to be recognized by Relativity, and I’m grateful to the colleagues and clients who trusted us to push Review Center and Redact to their limits in a defensible way.”

The winning workflow has already been adapted to other high-sensitivity matters, including criminal-victim and trade-secret redactions, and now underpins specialized Redaction Centers across IntrepidX. Each redaction action—content and metadata—is logged with timestamps and rationale to streamline privilege logs and meet disclosure obligations.
