Patent professionals and applicants can be in for the long haul when they enter patent prosecution, which typically unfolds over the course of several years. The path to patent approval can be lengthy and arduous, making it hard to understand the history of an application. With the enhanced LexisNexis PatentAdvisor® QuickPAIR timeline design, patent professionals can visualize a patent application’s prosecution process. The QuickPAIR timeline includes easy access to all associated office actions and appeal documents, helping you find critical information and provide more efficient prosecution guidance.
Patent professionals can use the PatentAdvisor™ QuickPAIR search tool to uncover a wide variety of patent documents, insights and guidance. Complete patent file wrappers including office action, petition and appeals documents (just to name a few) can be downloaded without leaving the PatentAdvisor platform. Users can review comprehensive patent document overviews complete with patent prosecution summaries and event timelines, information about ownership, assignments and patent families, and even intelligence on patent litigation.
The enhanced QuickPAIR timeline allows you to:
Easily access QuickPAIR from the PatentAdvisor welcome screen. Then conduct a search using the Application Number, Patent Number or Publication Number and you will see the QuickPAIR timeline results.
The new QuickPAIR timeline design provides an enhanced view of the history and the current status of a patent application as well as quick access to all associated office actions, RCEs and appeal documents. The “window of opportunity” feature helps you to better evaluate prosecution timing.
With a complete visualization of the prosecution path of a patent application, the QuickPAIR timeline helps you to make more informed decisions based on a reliable patent application status timeline, examiner allowance rate, average time and the number of office actions to allowance. The QuickPAIR timeline is only the most recent of several major enhancements to PatentAdvisor. Recent additions include:
