Get a Complete Bird’s Eye View of a Patent Application With QuickPAIR Timeline

September 12, 2022

Patent professionals and applicants can be in for the long haul when they enter patent prosecution, which typically unfolds over the course of several years. The path to patent approval can be lengthy and arduous, making it hard to understand the history of an application. With the enhanced LexisNexis PatentAdvisor® QuickPAIR timeline design, patent professionals can visualize a patent application’s prosecution process. The QuickPAIR timeline includes easy access to all associated office actions and appeal documents, helping you find critical information and provide more efficient prosecution guidance.

Benefits of the QuickPAIR timeline

Patent professionals can use the PatentAdvisor™ QuickPAIR search tool to uncover a wide variety of patent documents, insights and guidance. Complete patent file wrappers including office action, petition and appeals documents (just to name a few) can be downloaded without leaving the PatentAdvisor platform. Users can review comprehensive patent document overviews complete with patent prosecution summaries and event timelines, information about ownership, assignments and patent families, and even intelligence on patent litigation.

The enhanced QuickPAIR timeline allows you to:

  • Get a complete view of the prosecution path of a patent application 
  • Better manage stakeholder and client expectations through visualizing the prosecution timeline 
  • Save time finding critical information linked directly from the timeline view 
  • Better understand your competitor’s prosecution performance 
  • Get help estimating the length of prosecution 

Access the QuickPAIR timeline

Easily access QuickPAIR from the PatentAdvisor welcome screen. Then conduct a search using the Application Number, Patent Number or Publication Number and you will see the QuickPAIR timeline results.

The new QuickPAIR timeline design provides an enhanced view of the history and the current status of a patent application as well as quick access to all associated office actions, RCEs and appeal documents. The “window of opportunity” feature helps you to better evaluate prosecution timing.
