U.S. Patent Litigation Trends in 2025: Patterns Behind the Numbers
"Patent litigation trends provide critical insights into the evolving landscape of innovation, enforcement and intellectual property strategy. Understanding these trends is essential for companies, investors, and legal professionals who seek to manage risk, protect assets and navigate a complex legal environment. In the United States, patent litigation has grown in significance due to rising enforcement activity, shifts in venue selection, and increasing involvement of so-called patent assertion entities (PAEs)."
"In a recent IPWatchdog webinar on U.S. Patent Litigation Trends 2025, nearly 500 industry professionals participated in polls to identify the most pressing challenges for 2025 and beyond. In response to the question, "Which trend will have the greatest impact on U.S. patent litigation in the coming years?", 43% of webinar participants highlighted the growing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) in litigation strategy, reflecting its transformative role in case preparation, risk assessment, and courtroom advocacy."
Patent litigation trends reveal the interplay of technology, strategic enforcement, and patent quality in determining outcomes. Rising enforcement activity, shifts in venue selection, and increased involvement of patent assertion entities have elevated litigation significance in the United States. Nearly 500 industry professionals participated in polls to identify major challenges for 2025 and beyond. Respondents identified growing reliance on artificial intelligence in litigation strategy and globalization of litigation campaigns as top trends. Patent and litigation data are used to forecast outcomes, assess risk, and to calculate damages, FRAND rates, and patent value.
