Hi NeilOnce again we align on an IP issue. This is getting weird. Recently, I raliezed that the percentages related to patent litigation success probability batted about by the Chief IP Counsel of my Fortune 500 client were not only erroneous, but also unhelpful to my senior VP of Innovation. We lawyers all-too-frequently respond to substantive inquiries regarding "can we win" by doing hand waving about percentages that are, frankly, made up out of thin air. This is not only wrong, it is unfair to business people who are looking for real insights about whether they should take a legal risk or not. Unfortunately for the business people we represent, our perception of how hard or difficult it will be to prevail on an IP legal issue is often manifested in the form of bogus percentages. It is a great big Fail from us, in my humble opinion.

I am uncertin if this apilpes in Trade Mark prosection but in IP litigation I use the following:You are unlikely to be able to be more precise than 25% increments.Therefore there are only 4 answers:1) 0-25% chance of claimant winning - this lowest estimate is rarely given if you are the claimant as it suggests you never should have begun the action.2) 25-50% chance - this can be given where the claimant has been advised they may lose the litigation but has resolved to go ahead anyway.3) 50-75% chance - can be given where the claimant has been advised they have a fair chance of success and it includes a proper allowance for litigation uncertainty.4) 75-100% chance - this etaimate is uncommmon for the same reasons as 0-25% band estimate but in reverse.
