How ratings work
Full methodology →Official data
We ingest filings and outcomes from EUIPO, EPO, and national offices. No surveys.
6-pillar scoring
Six things we measure: how much a firm files, how often it succeeds, how fast, how well its rights survive, how often they are renewed, and how much domestic work it holds. Each is compared with the other firms in the same country and track.
Credibility-adjusted ranks
A firm with only a few filings cannot reach the top on those alone: its rank is pulled toward the middle until the evidence grows. The full formulas are on the methodology page.
