Petition.ai Launches the First Comprehensive Searchable Database of USPTO Patent Petition Documents

CHICAGO, June 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Petition.ai LLC ("Petition.ai") is excited to announce the launch of the first comprehensive searchable database of publicly available patent petition documents filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"). The searchable database includes 500,000 documents from 200,000 patent applications filed since 2013. The documents include petitions, requests for reconsideration, and most importantly, petition decisions.

Each year, tens of thousands of petitions are filed with the USPTO's Office of Petitions. A petition is often a signed, written request submitted to the Office of Petitions seeking some form of relief related to the filing of patent applications.

By utilizing Petition.ai's extensive searchable database, patent attorneys, patent agents, and their support teams can efficiently search through hundreds of thousands of petition documents to readily find ones with similar issues and/or fact patterns. As a result, patent professionals will be able to more quickly and easily craft a petition with an increased likelihood of being granted on the first attempt, potentially avoiding the need to request reconsideration of a denial or dismissal.

"If you have to file a petition in an unusual situation, Petition.ai is the closest thing to the Holy Grail that I've seen," remarked Jeremy R. Kriegel, Partner at Marshall Gerstein & Borun LLP.

"Petition grant rates vary dramatically from 65%-98% across law firms. We believe law firms which use our database will be able to significantly increase their chances of getting a petition granted on the first attempt while saving time and effort, relieving stress and reducing uncertainty," noted Michael Spector, Petition.ai's Co-Founder.
