What are Predictive Analytics?

Rowan's predictive analytics uses expert “reviewer bots” specifically tuned for patent practice to predict what issues your application might encounter during examination at the patent office. Predictive analytics provides three data sets based on the text of your specification and claims.

Art unit predictions determines the five art units your application appears most likely to be examined in. For those five art units, statistics for their allowance rate, pendency, average number of office actions, and percentage of patents granted with an appeal are listed.

Eligibility prediction examines your text for elements that may lead to a 101 rejection based on similarity to claims that have been rejected under abstraction in the past. Predicted eligibility is shown on a scale from low to high, and words found in your text that may lead to low eligibility are listed. These results are hidden by default.

Similarity search results provides the ten U.S. patent documents that are most semantically similar to your application text. Controls are provided to view these patent documents and export them in a .docx IDS file. These results are hidden by default.
