LexDana Launches the 2026 Patent Intelligence Rankings, Retiring the Static Report Era

LexDana today announced the launch of the 2026 LexDana Patent Intelligence Rankings, marking a permanent transition away from the static annual patent prosecution report and into a fully interactive intelligence system. The rankings, covering thousands of law firms and patent attorneys across six official categories, are now publicly accessible, free of charge at app.lexdana.ai. The 2026 rankings cover six official categories: Overall Activity, Overall Performance, Bio-Tech Activity, Bio-Tech Performance, High-Tech Activity, and High-Tech Performance. The Top 250 firms and Top 250 attorneys in each category are publicly visible, including exact numeric ranks, rounded scores, and year-over-year trend indicators. Firms and attorneys outside the Top 250 are displayed with relative percentile bands, rather than raw numeric positions, preserving meaningful context without distortion.

A New Standard for Transparency

Unlike prior report cycles, the 2026 rankings are not gated behind a purchase. The full Top 250 across all six categories is available to any visitor — law firm partners benchmarking their standing, corporate IP teams evaluating counsel, or researchers tracking industry trends. All rankings are powered by Patexia data and computed using a published methodology, ensuring integrity and reproducibility. For entities ranked beyond the Top 250, LexDana displays performance in percentage terms, giving every tracked firm and attorney a meaningful, dignified signal of their standing in the market.

Firms and attorneys ranking in the Top 100 of any official 2026 category are eligible to license the 2026 LexDana Patent Intelligence Distinction Badge — an annual recognition asset for use across websites, pitches, proposals, and marketing materials. Badge eligibility is determined exclusively by official published rankings. Each badge license includes a dedicated spotlight page, a public verification URL, and a complete marketing kit.
