Cooley Recognized Among Top Patent Firms by Juristat
Washington DC – February 17, 2026 – Cooley’s patent counseling and prosecution practice has been recognized among the leading Top Patent Firms, as published in Juristat’s data-driven annual report based on measurable prosecution outcomes from the US Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO). Cooley was recognized in multiple categories “that reflect how clients judge prosecution work: outcomes, speed, efficiency, difficulty, and scale.”
Specifically, the firm was recognized in the Gold band for Normalized Time to Allowance – a metric which Juristat says “isolates true efficiency across mixed dockets: teams that keep cases moving, reduce cycle time, and align outcomes with product timelines.” Cooley was also named in the Silver band for Normalized Office Actions to Allowance, a measure of “execution, not examiner bias,” further noting that “this metric highlights teams that advance cases with fewer turns, reduce fees and rework, and keep prosecution compact across mixed dockets.” Additionally, the firm was also recognized in five industries: Biotech, Chemicals, Life Sciences, Medical Devices/Healthcare, and Pharmaceuticals.
The methodology used in Top Patent Firms Report measure speed, efficiency, difficulty and scale based on Juristats’ proprietary USPTO dataset between July 8, 2023, and July 8, 2024.
