The chart shows the results from a ~9000 patent sample showing the percentage of issued patents that are categorized as “AIA Patents.” The key feature here – as of the past couple of months most newly issued patents are AIA patents. It will likely two-more years before we’re up to 80%.
The plot clearly shows +10%/6 mo, so in two years we’ll be at 95% AIA issued patents.
Thanks Gene – Although I drew a line here, I did not mean for the line to forecast the next two years. I expect for the curve to drop-off a bit as the pre-AIA application bolus-of-stragglers fight for scope and issuance.
Any corresponding increase in the AIA PGRs that these AIA issued patents are subject to for the first few months after they issue?
