The "Grant statistics" module for EP pending application allows to get statistical analysis on your EP prosecution. Statistical analysis by the same IPC sector (IPC is acronyme for International Patent Classification) or examiner allows you to visualize prosecution options and the main indicators to evaluate the grant chance of a EP application.
Standards indicators:
- Estimated chance of grant
- Average time to grant (time between the application date of the EP application and the expected grant date)
- Months since filing date (time between the application date of the EP application and the current date)
- Number of office action(s): Number of official letter(s) already received for the patent and average number of official letter(s) received on the basis of patents processed by the examiner and on similar patents
The system also provides detailed data based on which to best decide on the next steps.
