In plain words
The first action takes 20.8 months on average.
Timeline
Allowed in green, abandoned in red, pending in grey. The figures above and every chart that can be recomputed by filing year follow the span you pick; the rest are marked all years.
Ask the record
Grant rate from the first action
The gold line is this record and the blue line is the USPTO. The marker is the three-year grant rate.
Outcome simulator
A model of this record’s own transitions: each examiner action, the response to it, and what came next. Thin data borrows from the USPTO.
Prosecution paths
Every application’s sequence of examiner actions, from the first action to the outcome. Hover a band for the count.
Compared with the office
The same figures for this record and for the whole office.
Allowance over time
Share allowed (gold) and abandoned (red) by month since filing, with pending cases counted only while they are pending.
Rejection fingerprint
Share of examined applications that drew each ground; blue is the USPTO.
After a response
How often each ground is gone from the next action once it has been answered.
What works
Allowance rate among decided cases where each move was used at least once, against the USPTO.
Interviews
Allowance with and without an examiner interview, and how often interviews happen.
Odds by round
After the first, second and later rejections.
Response clock
How long the office takes to act once a response is in.
Quarter-end timing
Allowances by week of the USPTO fiscal quarter. An even spread would put 15% in the last two weeks.
Cited art
From the rejections in the most recently decided applications.
Trend
Is it getting easier or harder? Gold is this record, blue is the USPTO.
Appeals
Appeals filed, briefs, examiner’s answers, and how the Board decided.
Companies
Assignees by the number of this inventor’s applications.
Domains
Technology domains by the number of applications.
Co-inventors
People named on the same applications, by how many they share.
Examiners
How often this inventor’s decided applications were allowed with each examiner.
Bars show the share of decided applications that were allowed.
The record in depth
Filed and granted
Filed by the year of filing, granted by the year the patent issued.
Where it is examined
How many applications each tech center and art unit took, and how they fared there against what the unit usually allows.
Bars show the share of decided applications allowed in each; the white mark is what that unit allows across every applicant.
Technology mix
Applications by filing year, stacked by technology domain. Click a domain to hide or show it.
Who appears here
Applications across, allowance rate up; larger bubbles took longer. Click a bubble to open it.
Pending and what to expect
Each pending application is carried forward from its age on this record’s own allowance curve. The bars are the pending applications by years since filing.
Indicative portfolio value
Each asset of this inventor priced on its own from its field, its age and what its prosecution shows, then added up. A package this size would trade below the sum.
An indicative range read from the record, not an appraisal. The claims are not read, and evidence of use, family members abroad, licenses and maintenance fees are not in the record: each can move a real price more than everything shown here. The starting range is an assumption for a routine granted US patent in a brokered sale; a buyer whose product the claims block can pay several times more.

Every application
Filed across, months to the decision up; green allowed, red abandoned, blue pending; larger dots drew more rejections. Drag across the years to zoom, click a dot to open the case.
Co-inventors
Each circle is a co-inventor, sized by shared applications; lines join people who appear together. Drag a circle to rearrange; click one to open that inventor.

Ten years of allowances, abandonments and first actions. Switch the measure to see each.
Prosecution, case by case
Each row is one application from filing to its end: rejections, responses, interviews, RCEs and the outcome. Hover a mark for the date; click a row to open the case.
