Stop cost creep in prosecution

Build your forecast

Prosecution spend creeps up in small, repeatable ways—unnecessary RCEs, missed interviews, slow appeals, and continuations without a business case. Portfolio-wide, those patterns become real money.

Juristat Analytics turns those drivers into forecasts you can act on. See expected office actions, pendency, and cost by examiner and technology area. Compare the ROI of interviews, appeals, Track One, continuations, or strategic abandonment, before you commit. Enforce your playbook with alerts when matters exceed your thresholds.

From dashboard to decision in minutes

Juristat models each matter against examiner, art-unit, and tech-center history to forecast office actions, pendency, and dollar impact. Then you scenario-test the real choices—interviews vs. RCEs vs. appeals, Track One vs. standard, and continuations vs. strategic abandonments—to see which path wins fastest for the lowest cost. Portfolio views surface systemic drivers, while alerts flag outliers (missed interviews, excess OAs, low-allowance examiners) before spend spirals. Export a defensible brief and lock the playbook so teams and outside counsel make the same, data-backed calls.
