core/paragraph

Juristat is a provider of patent analytics and competitive intelligence based on data from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Top Patent Firms are objectively selected through a review of their performance using Juristat’s proprietary USPTO dataset. Its honors are determined by measurable outcomes throughout the patent examination process such as speed, efficiency, difficulty and scale.

Warner was awarded gold for the categories of normalized allowance rate, representing the percentage of patent applications successfully granted; normalized time to allowance, representing the time it takes from filing to receiving the patent; normalized office actions to allowance; and time to response after the USPTO takes an action. Silver was awarded for the extension category.

“We are proud to be recognized for our commitment to excellent client service,” said Vito Ciaravino, chair of the firm’s Intellectual Property Practice Group. “Being named a Top Patent Firm by Juristat underscores the discipline and precision Warner brings to patent prosecution.”
