Unveiling Multi-Examiner Comparison: The Latest Feature in the TIP ToolTM's Examiner Analysis Tool

In an effort to streamline patent management and provide strategic insights for IP workflows, Triangle IP has introduced a new enhancement to its TIP ToolTM: the Multi-Examiner Comparison feature.

This innovative addition allows users to search for and analyse multiple patent examiners simultaneously, saving time and eliminating the need for multiple separate searches or toggling between profiles.

With the Multi-Examiner Comparison enhancement, users can uncover valuable insights about patent examiner behaviour, such as allowance rates, average office actions, RCE usage, appeal outcomes, and interview frequency. This information is presented in a side-by-side view, making it easy to compare and contrast examiners' performance.

The comparison view also includes metrics such as allowance rates, RCE trends, grant timelines, and response delays. Users can visualize each examiner's allowance rate next to their Art Unit average and the USPTO national average, as well as quickly scan total applications, granted cases, average grant time, number of office actions before allowance, and rejection statistics.

Moreover, the Multi-Examiner Comparison enhancement includes a "More" button for each examiner, which opens a quick summary of the examiner's behaviour, ideal for briefing clients or internal stakeholders.

The Multi-Examiner Comparison feature is available to all users with access to Examiner Analysis in the TIP ToolTM, with no additional permissions required. It's important to note that the comparison session is temporary and tied to the current browser session, with no session saving or export functionality at this time.

All examiner statistics are based on publicly available USPTO data, which Triangle IP processes and updates regularly. This ensures the data's accuracy and relevance.

In addition to the Multi-Examiner Comparison enhancement, the TIP ToolTM offers chart view options for RCE Distribution, Office Action Type Breakdown, PABC Win/Loss Outcomes, and GAU-wise Office Action Frequency to provide deeper clarity.

The TIP ToolTM was built with the goal of simplifying patent management and providing strategic insights for IP workflows. With the Multi-Examiner Comparison enhancement, users can now identify patterns that influence prosecution strategy across portfolios or related applications, making informed decisions about which examiners are likely to grant faster, require fewer office actions, or resist more aggressively.

This enhancement is another step forward in Triangle IP's mission to help patent professionals navigate the complex world of patent management with ease and confidence.
