2022 Patent Bots Quality Rankings: Top 10 Firms in Each USPTO Tech Center

Patent Bots recently announced its third annual Patent Quality Rankings of top patent law firms. Last month, we unveiled the Top 50 Patent Firms

Today, we'll announce the Top 10 firms in each USPTO Tech Center. 

We used our advanced machine learning software to review every patent issued – over 300,000! – by the USPTO in the past year. 

We then ranked patent firms in each Tech Center based on the average number of numbering, antecedent basis, and word support errors detected in their patents. Our rankings are based only on the above errors and do not address many other important aspects of patent quality.

Nearly 95% of patents contained at least one detectable error. That's why Patent Bots created the world's fastest and most accurate patent drafting and proofreading solution. Try Patent Bots FREE for 14 days.

Now, on to the rankings!

Patent Quality Rankings Methodology. 

The Patent Quality Rankings are based only on average errors in issued patents and don't address other important aspects of patent quality. 

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).

Although we may over- or under-count errors in an individual patent, the average number of errors across all of a firm's patents is a good indicator of the overall quality of the firm's work.

2022 Patent Bots Quality Rankings: The Top 50 Patent Law Firms

Patent Bots is pleased to announce its third annual Patent Quality Rankings of top patent law firms. 

We used our advanced machine learning software to review every patent issued  over 300,000!  by the USPTO in the past year. We then ranked the 736 most active patent law firms based on the average number of numbering, antecedent basis, and word support errors detected in their patents.

Our rankings are based only on the above errors and do not address many other important aspects of patent quality. 

Patent Accuracy: By the Numbers.

Before we unveil the top 50 patent law firms, let's take a look at the state of patent accuracy.
  • 322,000 patents processed by the Patent Bots AI
  • 16,434 patents achieved a perfect Patent Bots Quality Score
  • 11.2 average errors per patent
  • 7 median errors per patent
More than 305,000 patents issued in 2021 contained at least one numbering, antecedent basis, or word support error. There is clearly room for improved accuracy in the industry. 

That is why Patent Bots created the world's fastest and most accurate patent drafting and proofreading solution. Try Patent Bots FREE for 14 days.

Now, on to the rankings!

2022 Patent Quality Rankings: Top 10 Large Firms.

We've segmented America's most active patent firms (those with at least 500 patents issued in 2021) into a Large Firms list to recognize their prolific patent practices.

After placing second among large firms in 2021, Harrity & Harrity jumped to the top of the rankings this year. Congratulations to Harrity & Harrity and the rest of these large firms for doing amazing work over the last year!

2022 Patent Quality Rankings: Top 50 Firms Overall.
