You can’t manage what you can’t compare. Basic allowance rates and anecdotes hide what’s really driving outcomes. Examiner difficulty varies. Art units move at different speeds. Firm performance shifts across technologies.
Juristat Analytics makes benchmarking objective. Compare results against examiner, art unit, and tech center context. Evaluate outside counsel and rivals on normalized metrics. Track trends, not one-offs. Export scorecards and set alerts so your standards are enforced across the portfolio.
Benchmarking turns raw outcomes into clarity. Juristat puts your results in true context—examiner, art unit, and tech center—so strengths stand out and hidden inefficiencies no longer hide behind averages. You see where allowance, office-action counts, rejection patterns, and interview usage diverge from peers, revealing training opportunities and process gaps. The same view becomes proof for clients and leadership, tying performance to ROI and guiding smarter resourcing.
The result? Targeted improvements that move the bottom line, not just the numbers.
Make performance measurable
Track competitor activity, filings, and trends to anticipate threats and identify opportunities.
Publish if-then rules for interviews, appeals, continuations, and OA thresholds. Monitor adherence across counsel and course-correct quickly.
Trigger notifications when OA counts exceed examiner norms, interview windows are missed, or low-allowance risk crosses your line—so teams intervene early.
One click to share tables with leadership or outside counsel for quarterly reviews and planning.
Compare your firms across the work that matters to you. View allowance vs. baseline, OAs to allowance, pendency, extensions, interview and appeal usage—by CPC and tech center.
Convert benchmarks into rules. Alert when matters exceed OA thresholds, skip interviews where they work, or stall with low-allowance examiners.

Use benchmarking to pick partners, set policy, and improve outcomes
Results are shown in the context of examiner, art unit, and tech center difficulty, so you compare like with like.
Yes. Build firm scorecards by CPC and tech center with allowance vs. baseline, OAs, pendency, extensions, and tactic usage.
Yes. Compare your outcomes to specific assignees or peer groups in the same technology areas.
Yes. Use rolling windows to monitor trends and variance—then trigger alerts when metrics cross your thresholds.
Don't choose your patent firm based on reputation alone. With increasing pressure to justify legal spend and improve patent outcomes, in-house teams need a data-driven framework to assess outside counsel performance and make smarter decisions.
This guide shows you how to use patent analytics to select, manage, and—when needed—replace your outside legal partners.
