Patent US 10,445,844

A computer-implemented method and system for detecting, profiling and benchmarking Intellectual Property (IP) law professional liability risks and professional liability insurance risks and value associated with IP prosecution and maintenance processes for IP business entities, including IP law firms and independent IP professionals. The method and system enable an insurance firm to accurately quantify professional liability risk of a new or existing IP business client and mitigate such risks. The method accesses and collects transaction data indicative of risk-reducing and risk-increasing behavior of an IP business entity from a National IP Office in a chosen jurisdiction (e.g., USPTO PAIR system) and sends the transaction data to a back-end computer system for processing and analysis.
