The PatentCore System

Free 2-Day Trial!

The PatentCore™ system is an easy-to-use tool for learning more about a particular patent examiner. The system is built upon a variety of different examiner-specific databases including a collection of many hundreds of thousands of Office Actions written by patent examiners during patent prosecution.

It takes a patent prosecutor many years to accumulate enough interactions with examiners to be able to effectively identify and respond to patterns in examiner behavior. The best patent prosecutors do eventually develop this capability, for a small set of examiners. However, there are approximately 6,200 examiners, so even the best prosecutors rarely work with the same examiners frequently enough to effectively identify trends on an examiner-specific basis. The PatentCore examiner information system enables anyone to benefit from the prosecution experiences of other practitioners. By simply selecting an examiner, the user gains access to statistics indicative of how the examiner has done his or her job. The system already reflects an analysis of hundreds of thousands of application file histories. Thousands of new file histories are in various stages of being analyzed and new data is being added every day. Additional statistical analysis is being added to the examiner-specific data pages every week. Eventually all practitioners will be utilizing this type of data. So, what are you waiting for?
