Keyword searching with Juristat enables you to quickly find information about specific applications. For example, you can use keyword searches to:

  • Identify applications that will likely receive Alice rejections,ย 

  • Keep track of applications in emerging technology areas, or

  • Find applications taking advantage of the AFCP or Track 1 programs.

Check out Advanced Search with Operators to learn how to maximize your keyword search.

Juristat Tip: Stay up to date on emerging tech by saving keyword searches. For example, search for blockchain OR "distributed ledger" and then save your search to re-run at any time.

Complex Searches Example

Rejection Searching

35 U.S.C. 102 Makato will search for applications where "35 USC 102" and "Makato" appear. ย 

Juristat Tip: If you have access to Platform's premium features, use the Search Scope at the bottom to specify that you want to search for these terms in the text of final and non-final rejections only.

Using the search above and altering "102" to "101" and "Makato" to "Alice" helps to identify applications that received Alice rejections.

Document Code Searches

You can often search for applications of a specific type by using the USPTO document codes as a search term.

For example, to identify applications using the AFCP program, you can search for the document code "A.NE.AFCP". To identify track one applications, you can search for the document code "TRACK1.GRANT".

The USPTO has released a list of document codes. Click the button below to download a comprehensive XLS file of all document codes.
