Lead Scoring — How It Works

Understanding the AI-powered lead scoring system.

Lead Scoring.

PatentReach assigns each lead a score from 0 to 100 based on multiple factors.

Scoring Factors.

  • Pro Se Status (40 points). Filers without attorneys are most likely to need help.
  • Filing Recency (20 points). Recent filers are actively engaged in the patent process.
  • Technology Complexity (15 points). Complex inventions often need more support.
  • Geographic Match (15 points). Leads in your state are easier to serve.
  • Filing History (10 points). First-time filers need more guidance than serial inventors.

Score Bands.

  • 80-100: Hot. Contact immediately — high conversion probability.
  • 60-79: Warm. Good prospects, add to sequence.
  • 40-59: Cool. Worth nurturing over time.
  • Below 40: Cold. Low priority unless you have capacity.
