Getting Started

When you first log in to Juristat, you'll see the Juristat homepage. The homepage displays different dashboards depending on your subscription level.


Dashboards

Benchmarks Dashboard: This dashboard provides metrics comparing your organization’s application outcomes over the past five years with USPTO data, including allowances, rejections, office actions, time to disposition, interviews, RCEs, and appeals. The Premium version offers advanced filtering and additional metrics specific to: §112(b) and 101 rejection rates, Track One filings, and first action allowance rates.

Practice or Portfolio Overview: The Practice and Portfolio Overview dashboards let law firms and in-house teams view top assignees, classes, and examiners, comparing allowance rates and average office actions at a glance.

Business Development: This dashboard allows firms to quickly see opportunities and risks in their current client portfolio as well as potential new business opportunities.

Prosecution Strategy: This dashboard quickly identifies applications meeting the criteria for interviews, appeals, or continuation opportunities as well as applications that have gone through extended prosecution or are in front of very low allowance rate examiners.

Maintenance Fees: The Maintenance Fees dashboard shows applications associated with your company or firm that have maintenance fees due in a given due date range.

Competitor Comparison: The basic dashboard compares your company to top competitors using standard metrics, while the premium version offers advanced metrics and customizable filtering.

Outside Counsel Scorecard: The Outside Counsel Scorecard helps in-house teams assess law firms based on customized criteria, allowing them to select the most suitable firms by setting evaluation thresholds and applying filters like time frame and technology.

Analytics

After the search bar and the home button, you will find Juristat Analytics:

Below is a summary of the three tools in the Analytics section.

Drafting: Identify your application's likely technology center, art unit, class, and prior art cited against similar applications. This enables you and your team to decide which applications to file and gauge each prosecution's difficulty.

102 Reports: Identify forward citations for applications occurring in 102 rejections issued against other applications.

Alerts: Receive weekly email summaries of activity on your alerted applications from the past week, with customizable alerts and triggers.


Keyword Search

Keyword searching with Juristat lets you quickly find specific application info, such as identifying applications likely to receive Alice rejections or tracking applications in emerging technology centers.


Private Search Results

Integrating your private patent prosecution data into Juristat Analytics provides several advantages, including access to current application data at all times, the capability to analyze all your applications, published or not, and receiving prompt alerts for unpublished applications. While Patent Center sponsorship is mandatory for Workflow Automation clients, it is optional for Analytics users.


Workflow Automation

Subscribed users can access the OAR Manager and IDS Manager Dashboards through the 'Workflow Automation' dropdown in Juristat. These dashboards allow users to view and download all completed IDSs or OA response shells and track the status of pending requests and completed packets.


Exploring Different Search Results Views

Once you start your search using keyword search or the search bar, you can browse the results in three distinct ways.

1) Table View

By choosing the "table view" for your search results, you gain access to an unparalleled amount of information about each application. 

To access "table view", click the icon in the upper right corner of your search results.

After choosing the table view, you'll see your applications listed as rows, with default columns showing information about each application.

You can organize your applications based on various fields to quickly identify, for example, which applications have received the most office actions, the highest number of RCEs filed, or the date of the most recent extension. Additionally, clicking the "Edit Columns" button allows you to add, remove, or reorder columns in your Table view.

A full list of the fields and descriptions is available here.

Exporting Results

In table view, you can export your data to a .csv file (up to 10,000 applications). Simply click the export button located in the upper right corner above the table.

2) Intelligence View

Intelligence allows you to access detailed and customizable analytics for any set of applications in your search results. It provides data such as allowance rates by technology center, annual filing counts, yearly extension requests, and more.

You can customize your charts view by clicking the "Edit Charts" button in the upper right corner, selecting the graphs you'd like to see, and setting the order in which you'd like them to appear.

3) Application View

To view the file history, claims, or other details of an application, simply click on that application in the Table view to open up Application view.

Select what info you'd like in each of the three panels to customize your view.
