We score subject matter expertise using a proprietary algorithm that automatically combines your patent number with the following:
an expert's experience in similar CPC groups and subgroups, as well as experience in the same patent family, and
machine learning that compares language in CVs and declarations to the claims and specifications of your patent at issue
This generates a unique score to determine which experts have the subject matter expertise to help you win your case.
High means the expert has one of the following:
At least 1 appearance on an IPR in the same sub-group (e.g., A01B 33/00); or
At least 3 appearances on IPRs in the same group (e.g., A01B 33); or
At least 5 appearances on IPRs in the same subclass (e.g., A01B); or
At least 1 appearance on an IPR involving a patent in the same patent family.
Medium means the expert has at least one of the following:
1-2 appearances in the same group (e.g., A01B 33); or
3-4 appearances in the same subclass (e.g., A01B); or
10+ appearances in the same class (e.g., A01)
Low means the expert has at least one of the following:
1-2 appearances in the same subclass (e.g., A01B); or
5-9 appearances in the same class (e.g., A01)
If a patent number search results in more than 20 experts, the top 10% of experts are marked as Very High.
If an examiner has worked on an IPR for a patent in the same family as the patent number searched, they are indicated by a “+” next to the experience score.
Experts that do not match any of the above criteria are not included in the search results.
