Juristat's Examiner Reports provide both a high level snapshot of your patent examiner's past behavior and a granular look at individual applications your examiner has previously reviewed. Our Examiner Reports come into play at every stage of patent prosecution to enable the user to manage expectations and develop a winning prosecution strategy.
The purpose of this section is to take a deep dive into the purpose of each analytic displayed in Juristat's Examiner Reports.
Filtering Your Data
The first thing that appears at the top of every Examiner Report is a series of filters. Filters are some of the most important tools at your disposal when using Examiner Reports because they allow you to limit the applications being analyzed to those that are the most like yours. This allows you to compare apples-to-apples as much as possible.
Using Juristat's filters, you can specify filing or disposition date ranges, select art units, tech centers, or USPC classes, select applications receiving particular rejection types, and much more.
Once you apply one or more filters, all of the following charts and metrics will re-calculate using only applications that match your filters.
