Leverage advanced machine learning to predict art unit assignments and assess 101 rejection risk before filing. Make informed, data-driven decisions that increase your chances of success and optimize your prosecution strategy.
Strategic decisions made in the dark lead to suboptimal outcomes
Our prosecution analytics suite includes two complementary tools that work together to give you deep insight into your patent application's likely prosecution path
Predict which USPTO art units and groups are most likely to examine your patent application. Avoid art units with low grant rates and tailor your strategy accordingly.
Assess the likelihood of receiving an abstract idea rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Identify similar claims and their outcomes to strengthen your application.
The Art Unit Predictor uses a custom deep learning model trained on millions of patent applications to provide objective assessments of which art unit and group will most likely examine your application. Simply upload your specification and see results in seconds.
Use art unit predictions to inform your application drafting. Target art units with desirable prosecution outcomes by adjusting claim language and technical focus.
Know whether your application is headed for smooth sailing or an uphill battle. Understanding likely art unit assignments helps you prepare accordingly and set realistic expectations.
Make strategic decisions based on objective data rather than guesswork. Allocate resources effectively and optimize your prosecution strategy from the start.
The 101 Rejection Predictor analyzes your independent claims to assess the likelihood of receiving an initial abstract idea rejection. It identifies the most similar claims in the patent literature and shows whether those claims were rejected, giving you actionable insights to strengthen your application.
Determines the probability of each independent claim receiving an initial abstract idea rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
Identifies the most similar claim in the patent literature and indicates whether that claim was rejected as being abstract.
Identifies the most similar example from the 2019 Revised Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Guidance to inform your strategy.
Draft claims with the least likelihood of being rejected as abstract. Use feedback from the 101 rejection predictor to strengthen claim language before filing.
Know which applications are most at risk of a 101 rejection before filing. Add additional arguments or disclosure to give yourself an edge during prosecution.
Inform your prosecution strategy using the most closely related PEG example and claim identified by the predictor. Build stronger arguments from the start.
Prosecution Analytics integrates seamlessly with N-Spec, our patent proofreading tool. Proofread your application and run analytics with a single click to get actionable insights you can use to improve your application's chances of success.
How patent practitioners use prosecution analytics to gain an edge
Use art unit and 101 predictions to guide claim drafting decisions. Adjust technical focus and claim language to target favorable art units and minimize rejection risk.
Share analytics results with clients to set realistic expectations about prosecution difficulty and timeline. Demonstrate your proactive, data-driven approach.
Identify high-risk applications early and allocate appropriate resources. Spend more time on applications likely to face difficult prosecution.
Use analytics to inform continuation filing strategy. Adjust claim scope and technical focus in continuations based on predicted art unit assignments.
Add analytics to your pre-filing checklist. Catch potential issues and optimize strategy before committing to a filing approach.
Use analytics results to train junior practitioners on prosecution strategy. Show concrete examples of how claim language affects art unit assignment and rejection risk.
The Art Unit Predictor is trained on millions of patent applications and their actual art unit assignments. While no prediction can be 100% certain, our model provides probability scores for the most likely art units, giving you actionable intelligence to inform your strategy. The model is continuously updated as new data becomes available.
The 101 Rejection Predictor works with any type of patent application, but is particularly valuable for software, business method, and other applications in technology areas where abstract idea rejections are common. The tool analyzes claim language to assess similarity to claims that have been rejected or allowed under § 101.
Prosecution Analytics is currently offered as an add-on to N-Spec. This integration provides the best workflow, allowing you to proofread your application and then immediately run analytics with a single click. The combined subscription gives you comprehensive quality and strategy insights at an unbeatable price.
Both the Art Unit Predictor and 101 Rejection Predictor provide results in seconds. Simply upload your specification (or click through from N-Spec), and you'll have comprehensive analytics results before you can finish reading this answer.
Like all IronCrow AI tools, Prosecution Analytics maintains zero data retention. Your documents are automatically deleted from our servers immediately after processing. Your confidential patent information never persists on our systems.
Yes! The analytics visualizations can be exported and shared with clients. Many practitioners use these results to demonstrate their proactive, data-driven approach and to set realistic expectations about prosecution difficulty and strategy.
