Patent Application Timeline View in Patent Center Streamlines Access to Crucial Documents
Using patent data and analytics has been shown to greatly benefit patent professionals and their clients. Patent examiner statistics (e.g., an examiner’s relative difficulty level or the average number of office actions they issue) can help professionals manage client expectations of the patent process and develop more efficient prosecution strategies that cut costs in the long run.
Last year, we launched the LexisNexis PatentAdvisor® Extension to provide you with critical information right where you work in Patent Center and Private PAIR to help you save time and money.
Expanding on the goal to save you time and money, we’ve now brought the bird’s eye view of a patent application, and easier access to important documents directly into your workflow, by rolling out our recently enhanced QuickPAIR timeline into the PatentAdvisor Extension.
Benefits of the PatentAdvisor™ Extension
The free PatentAdvisor Extension streamlines your patent prosecution workflow by providing reliable information right at the point of need on the USPTO’s Patent Center and Private PAIR websites.
