Top 50 Law Firms for Patent Quality 2021

At Patent Bots, we used our advanced machine learning software to proofread an entire year of issued patents and then ranked 802 law firms by the smallest average number of errors in the issued patents.

Congratulations to these firms for doing amazing work!  

To improve your firm's patent quality scores, use Patent Bots automated proofreading to remove errors in your work.

See our PatentVerse page to see how your firm does in comparison. Other than the top 50 firms, you can only see your own firm's ranking (we don't want to publicly identify firms doing lower quality work). Note that these rankings are based only on average errors in issued patents and don't address other important aspects of patent quality.

This is the final posting of our second annual release of patent quality rankings for law firms and companies. For purpose of computing quality scores, we used only numbering errors, antecedent basis errors, and word support errors (words that don't appear in the detailed description).

We rank the top 50 firms overall and also the top 10 in each USPTO tech center:
