Appeals have always been high-stakes, high-cost decisions. But too often, IP professionals rely on instinct, anecdote, or incomplete data to guide their strategy. Without visibility into portfolio-wide appeal trends, firm performance, or long-term outcomes, it’s nearly impossible to make confident choices.

Juristat’s Appeals Module turns decades of USPTO appeal outcomes into actionable intelligence. With insights across examiners, firms, art units, technology centers, and assignees, you can reduce risk, benchmark performance, and align your strategy with proven outcomes.

Search, benchmark, decide—All in one view

Appeals demand evidence, not instinct. Juristat aggregates USPTO appeal outcomes and makes them searchable by examiner, art unit, firm, or assignee—so you see the terrain before you choose a path.

Trends become strategy. Reversal, reversal-in-part, and affirmance patterns reveal where arguments land, which examiners shift, and how timing plays across technologies. You benchmark your firm and portfolio against peers to separate signal from noise.

Depth is built in. Juristat surfaces arguments, outcomes, and strategies from similar appeals, turning history into guidance you can act on. Exportable, filterable views keep analysis flexible and shareable.

Juristat empowers confident, cost-effective decisions—when to appeal, when to pre-brief, when to amend or RCE—grounded in data you can defend to clients and leadership.
