Using Filing Analytics
Browse Law Firms or Applicants
Click BROWSE to start to view IP law firm and applicant lists categorized by country. Scroll to the country that you are interested in. This might be your own jurisdiction, or the jurisdiction you want to do business in. Next to the country, under the “View” category you are able to select LAW FIRMS or APPLICANTS to retrieve a ranking and detailed information.
Browse by Law Firms
After selecting LAW FIRMS on the Browse page, you will see a list that ranks all IP firms for a selected country and business dealings within your jurisdiction. Filing Analytics provides you with the following business intelligence insights:
- Minimum number of applications that are processed by a firm— use the slide function to select from 1 to 99.
- Perspective provides selected views based on European or individual country views. Note: The Perspective filter can only be changed by country for EP countries, or by state in the United States or Germany.
- Time period lets you restrict results to the past 2 years, past 3 years, or all information available for firms’ filings.
- Firm Names can be sorted alphabetically.
- Sent to displays the number of patent applications that have been filed or sent to your jurisdiction by this firm.
- Received from displays the number of patent applications received from firms based in your jurisdiction.
- Ratio calculates Sent applications over Received applications in your jurisdiction. A ration of 4 means that a particular firm has sent 4 times more patent applications than they have received within your jurisdiction.
- Predicted Filings estimates the number of filings the firm may make into your jurisdiction over the next 12-month period based on historic analysis.
- Pending PCT is the number of published PCT applications filed by a firm that have yet to be entered into the national/regional phase. i.e. the national/regional phase application deadline has not yet passed.

Browsing Applicants
The Applicants page ranks all Applicants within a certain country (for example Germany) by the number of their international patent filings. Filing details can be sorted across any jurisdiction (aggregated across all countries in our database) or within your jurisdiction (for example Canada).
No. of National Phase & Convention Apps displays the number of national phase applications or completed files that have a claim to priority under the Paris Convention, to any jurisdiction that is tracked by Filing Analytics. This number is intended as a measure of relative size, as opposed to an absolute number that includes divisionals/continuations, provisions etc.

- Top Applicants displays a ranking of the top applicants by number of applications, that hold an address in the selected geographical area.
- Top Firms displays a ranking of the top firms by number of applications, where the applicant’s address is listed within the selected geographical area.
- Technology displays a pie chart of the technology classes underlying an application, filed by the selected applicant within the selected geographic area. Technology classes are based on top-level IPC code.
- Exclude Applicant Filed will remove self-filed applications from the map results. If you tick this box all cases where the applicant has filed the patent without any assistance of a law firm will then not be listed.
- Exclude feature allows any given applicant to be removed from the map search by clicking the exclude “X” button to the right of their name. This may be useful for large ‘outlier applicants’ that may skew the firm and/or technology aggregations.
