Patexia’s 2019 Patent Prosecution Intelligence Report is the first in an annual series that provides rankings, statistics and comprehensive analysis of stakeholders in patent prosecution as part of its research division.

Santa Monica, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/06/2019 -- Today, Patexia, Inc., an intellectual property company and global IP community, is proud to announce our first annual Patent Prosecution Intelligence Report as part of our Patexia Insights series. They realize that many law firms and attorneys struggle to distinguish themselves in the crowded patent prosecution space, so they evaluated over 5,000 law firms to identify the top law firms based on a number of metrics such as activity, success, and efficiency. This enables patent prosecution practice groups to market themselves based on independent third-party rankings and proven results.

The company also knows that their corporate clients sometimes struggle to evaluate their existing counsel or find the right counsel for their patent work. Thus, they have looked at more than 100,000 companies (patent owners) to identify the top patent owners based on activity and performance. Their rankings can be leveraged by these organizations to make better decisions based on proven records. Utilizing data from more than 1.6 million patents issued over the last five years (January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018), this comprehensive report covers the top 1000 most active law firms and companies.

Some interesting insights from this year's report include the following:

- During the last five years, 2,186,102 patent applications reached the final stage (either abandoned or issued).

- During this period, a total of 1,682,342 patents were issued. Out of this number, 1,534,003 were Utility Patents (91.18 percent), 139,944 were Design Patents (8.32 percent) and 5,898 were Plant Patents (0.35 percent).

- The overall Allowance Rate for USPTO was 75 percent, which resulted in 25,268,001 new claims.

Of more than 5,000 law firms and 100,000 companies the company evaluated during this period:

- Slater & Matsil with 7,784 issued patents was ranked the Best Performing law firm

- Samsung Electronics with 48,362 issued patents was ranked the Most Active company

The report also analyzes number of office actions, extensions, allowance rates at the application level and claim level for the top 1,000 most active law firms and companies. They have separately looked at the Best Performing law firms and companies in High-Tech and Bio-Tech sectors to identify the top 500 in each category. The report is accompanied with Excel sheets for easy access to all metrics and rankings. They also provide the top 100 law firms who have purchased the report with our 2019 Best Performing and Most Active Badges.

When asked about this release, Pedram Sameni, the company's CEO, relayed the following "with so much data available today, companies more than ever, are relying on analytics and such benchmarks to make business decisions". He added: "law firms gradually understand the value of data and ways to differentiate themselves by using that. As a result, they allocate part of their marketing budget to these types of benchmarks and incorporate them as part of their marketing message. This will reshape the legal industry in the coming years and will help move many excellent small to midsize law firms to the top. Our pre-sales numbers indicate a strong demand for these kinds of reports as we continue to bring more transparency and efficiency to our growing IP community."

It remains critical for IP intensive corporations to understand this space better in order to control their cost and acquire the highest quality patents. Patexia is hoping to carve out a name as a trusted source in this area.

Patexia’s 2018 IPR Intelligence Report is the second in an annual series that provides rankings, statistics and comprehensive analysis of IPR stakeholders as part of its research division.

Santa Monica, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/06/2018 -- Today, Patexia, Inc., an intellectual property company and global IP community, is proud to announce our second annual IPR Intelligence Report as part of our Patexia Insights series. We realize that many law firms and attorneys struggle to distinguish themselves in the rapidly growing IPR space, so we evaluated over 1,100 law firms and 5,000 attorneys on activity and performance, enabling lawyers and practice groups to market themselves based on independent third-party rankings and proven results. We also know that the corporate clients sometimes struggle to find the right outside counsel. Our rankings can be leveraged by these organizations to make better decisions based on proven records. Utilizing data from over 7,700 Inter-Partes Review challenges filed over the past five years, this comprehensive report ranks the top 50 law firms, attorneys, and companies.

Some interesting insights from this year's report include the following:

During the last five years, 7,751 IPR cases were filed to challenge 4,707 unique patents. These petitions challenged close to 80,000 unique patent claims.

Claim-level data indicates that, on average, about 17 claims of each patent were challenged (79,672 claims of 4,707 patents)

Of the more than 3,000 companies as petitioners and patent owners:

- Apple is the most active company with involvement in 351 cases
- Pendrell Corporation is the best-performing company with a success rate of 100%

The report also analyzes challenges at the case, patent and claim levels to investigate denial and institution rates from many perspectives, including technology areas (bio-tech vs. high-tech), parties involved (petitioners vs. patent owners), and Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) judges.

When asked about the feedback the company received from the first release, Pedram Sameni, the company's CEO, relayed the following "The response from the IP community last year was great, considering it was our first release of this magnitude. We received some important feedback, and one of the main improvements for this year has been to incorporate claim-level analysis into our performance metrics as opposed to just looking at the case level. We believe this is a more balanced approach and hope our law firm and corporate clients agree. Our pre-sales numbers indicate a strong demand for the report this year as we continue to add value to our growing IP community."

It remains critical for petitioners and patent owners to understand this growing market better and make informed choices about their service providers. When discussing the rankings further, Sameni commented "There aren't many independent third-parties focussed on IPR, and several of the law firms we spoke with said this has given them the ability to market their practice group with outside rankings." Patexia is hoping to carve out a name as a trusted source in this area.

Patexia’s IPR Intelligence Report is the first in a bi-annual series that provides ranking and comprehensive analysis of IPR stakeholders as part of the expansion of Patexia’s research arm.

Santa Monica, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/19/2017 -- Patexia, Inc., an intellectual property company and global IP community, today released its inaugural IPR Intelligence Report as part of the Patexia Insights series. Utilizing data from all 6,580 Inter-Partes Review challenges filed since the program's inception in 2012 through the first half of 2017, this comprehensive report ranks the top 50 law firms, attorneys, and companies in terms of activity and performance.

"As we move toward the knowledge based economy, intellectual assets and patents, in particular, are becoming more important than ever. Patent quality has been a key issue preventing a more liquid market for patent assets and IPR was introduced to address that for the current pool of enforceable patents," said Patexia founder, Pedram Sameni. "With a record-breaking number of IPR challenges expected to be filed this year, it is crucial for petitioners and patent owners to understand this growing market better and make informed choices about their service providers. Our first-ever IPR Intelligence Report is an important new tool designed to help them do exactly this."

The IPR Intelligence Report is available today in three packages:

- Silver ($795): Analysis of all challenges at the case, patent and claim levels
