Couldn’t make it to IP Counsel Cafe? We’ve got the recap.  

For patent professionals, the challenge remains: How do you move prosecution forward amid the USPTO Backlog?

Patent professionals are tasked with navigating a landscape that’s more competitive and resource-constrained than ever. Delivering results faster, managing increasing complexity, and safeguarding clients’ patents require precision tools.

In the fast-paced world of intellectual property, time, clarity, and strategy are everything. That’s why we’re excited to announce significant updates to Juristat Analytics and a new Juristat IDS offering, which will begin rolling out in January 2025.

Each year, Juristat publishes our annual rankings of the best firms in each technology center at the USPTO. This year, the rankings reveal exciting shifts in performance and the continued dominance of some top performers.

How does using data in patent prosecutions generate more revenue and better prosecution outcomes? Patent analytics can be a game changer for your strategy, but you’ve got to know how to use them.

Evaluating outside counsel is a crucial task for in-house patent teams seeking a valuable legal partner. While it may be easy to simply pick the biggest name firm, or choose based on word-of-mouth, that might not always be the best fit for your business. 

Competition is a vital component of doing business, especially for patent teams. Competition forces you to innovate, finding creative solutions to protect and grow every patent portfolio on your books.

Will an interview lead to an allowance? Should you appeal? Is it time to abandon? How long is too long between filing and the first office action? As an experienced patent professional, you know that predicting examiner behavior is key to finding the shortest path to an allowance, but without the right data, you’re just guessing.

With the right data, IP practitioners can make nuanced and strategic decisions to aid their patent prosecution process.
