Predict Your Path To Allowance

Use prosecution forecasting to see timelines, costs, risks and outcomes before you commit — so you can course-correct your strategy early.

Prosecution forecasting you can defend

Forecast your portfolio

Prosecution is full of forks in the road. Without data, small missteps stack up into long timelines and runaway costs. Hidden patterns like RCE streaks, missed interviews, and low-odds examiners quietly inflate budgets by hundreds of thousands across a portfolio. Without prosecution forecasting, you’re reacting, not planning.

Juristat puts forecasting at the center of your process. Estimate cost and time to disposition using examiner-level metrics and program outcomes. Monitor portfolios with alerts, forecast maintenance exposure, and prioritize high-value families using forward-citation signals. Build forecasts you can defend to clients, CFOs, and the board.

From strategy dashboard to forecast in minutes

Prosecution forecasting turns a noisy docket into a live picture of risk, cost, and upside. Juristat shows who’s filing in your tech areas, how examiners behave, and where forward-citation momentum or exposure is building.

The Prosecution Strategy Dashboard surfaces high-impact signals—interview, appeal, and continuation opportunities; long prosecutions; low-allowance examiners—then anchors each matter in examiner history and Appeals Module benchmarks across art units and tech centers.

From there, you model the path: interview vs. RCE vs. appeal, Track One vs. standard, continuation vs. prune. Timelines, costs, and win odds update instantly, so you can pick the lowest-cost, highest-confidence route and back it with a one-page brief.

Frequently asked questions

Connect real-time dashboard insights and appeals data to every decision

How does the Prosecution Strategy Dashboard feed forecasting?

When a matter meets your criteria in any dashboard section, that status becomes an input to the prosecution forecast. You’ll see updated timelines, cost ranges, and recommended next actions.

What does the Appeals Module add to forecasting?

Portfolio-level appeals trends—reversals, reversals-in-part, and affirmances—across examiners, art units, tech centers, firms, and assignees. It also informs recommendations like when to appeal, request a pre-brief conference, amend, or RCE.

Can I configure thresholds for what triggers a forecast update?

Yes. In the dashboard, use the standard filter set and rule thresholds to define OA counts, interview gaps, RCE streaks, examiner allowance floors, and continuation criteria.

Does this replace our docketing or budgeting tools?

No. Juristat complements your existing programs, becoming an integral part of your legal tech stack. Keep your system of record. Use Juristat for analytics, forecasting, alerts, and reporting.
