Improved patent prosecution processes with LexisNexis PatentAdvisor^®

1. Portfolio Management Advisor

You will receive clear status reports on all company patents and patent processes in real time. This allows you to quickly identify issues that are slow to move forward and focus your scarce resources on the processes that need your most attention.

2. Prosecution Advisor

The Prosecution Advisor provides you with valuable information to speed up the patent prosecution process in the USA. You will be assisted in assessing the effectiveness of your outside legal counsel and developing more successful strategies to avoid litigation by analyzing all the patents in your portfolio.

• You can see how many RCEs (requests for continued examination) and how much work the patent examiner needs before approval is granted.
• You can easily see the time frame of your patent case compared to similar cases handled by the same patent examiner.
• You can see the likelihood of getting through the patent grant process and through the appeals board after appeals.

3. Budget Advisor

The Budget Advisor precisely calculates the costs for your patents based on analytical forecasts, calculates realistic budgets and improves control over all patent applications in the USPTO. Not only the previous patent procedures of the own company are included, but all patent procedures carried out in the USA by the Office for Patents and Trademarks. This makes it easy to calculate how much a company needs to invest to obtain an individual patent or a portfolio of patents.
