Attorney in
the PTAB? Do you wish you could know ahead of time whether your judge was
likely to institute your petition, grant your motion, or rule in your
favor?
Short of your reading
your judge’s thoughts, the next best thing is Docket Alarm’s Analytics Platform
for the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Docket Alarm offers attorneys analytics and statistics that gives insight into the mind of a PTAB judge.
View Trends Among the PTAB’s Top Judges
Attorneys can see trends among the busiest PTAB judges. Users see the
top PTAB judges along with the number of proceedings, their top tech center,
the judge’s petition institution rates and their claim cancellation rates. Judges
can be ranked according to any of these factors.

Statistics for Top PTAB Judges
Users can select
a judge appearing to get a full judge profile.
View Individual Judge Profiles
Each PTAB
judge has an individual profile page that provides users with an in-depth
analysis of the judge’s activity, giving users the ability to easily
analyze the outcome of their cases and devise winning litigation strategies.
Attorneys can view statistics related to every stage of a proceeding, from
institution to final written decision. Users can see month-to-month histograms of
the rate at which the judge institutes petitions in whole or in part, the
average number of claims instituted, and even the average number of days it
takes for a judge to make a decision. Any judge’s statistics can easily be
compared to the overall average, so you can see if a judge is faster or slower
than others.
In
addition, attorneys also have access to statistics that illustrate whether,
compared to other judges, a judge is more or less likely to rule on a matter
for or against a party. For example, Judge Joni Chang is 22% more likely to
invalidate all instituted claims
in a final written decision than the average PTAB judge. Litigators can use
these types of statistics to get an idea of how a judge will rule on particular
actions and motions in a proceeding, allowing them to create strategies that
maximize their chance for success.
