All companies applying for patents need to stay up to date on competitor activity that may threaten the viability of their patent applications.

Juristat Platform consolidates Public PAIR information to help companies identify and monitor pending competitor applications for new developments.

Learn how to narrow your search to competitor applications in relevant tech areas and create a saved filter to regularly return for future review.

Last week, we identified the ten Most Difficult Examiners currently reviewing applications at the USPTO. By understanding how an examiner has performed in the past, patent professionals can manage client expectations and structure a prosecution strategy that maximizes an application’s likelihood of allowance. Through Juristat’s Examiner Reports, you can dive deeper into the decision-making mindset of each Examiner by seeing his or her typical prosecution process from application to disposition.

Knowing an examiner’s allowance rate is one of the best indicators of how difficult a patent prosecution will be.
