Law Firms
Show clients why your firm should be their strategic IP partner

Leverage industry-leading data to:
- Compare and benchmark your firm’s prosecution performance against that of your competition.
- Get metrics based on an objective prosecution performance as opposed to examiner efficiency.
- Take examiner difficulty out of the equation and score purely for efficiency based on the proprietary PatentAdvisor™ Efficiency Score.
Beyond allowance rate: Get a more meaningful measure of prosecution performance with the PatentAdvisor Efficiency Score
By accounting for the variability of examiner complexity at the USPTO, the PatentAdvisor Efficiency Score gives you a better understanding of how successful the prosecution paths of your patents have been.
The score uses a proprietary formula that:
- Measures examiners for complexity based on different application process actions
- Scores the efficiency of each patented and abandoned application based on the difficulty of the assigned examiner (for example, did an application have a less-than-average number of office actions with a typically tough examiner?)
- Then averages application efficiency scores for law firms and corporations
The Efficiency Score provides a more robust metric than allowance rate that enables you to further benchmark in-house and outside counsel.
Corporations
