What we are, and what we are not

We read USPTO Office Actions and explain them in plain English. We are not a law firm and we do not provide legal advice.

We are a document-analysis service for people who have received a USPTO Office Action. We read the document, identify the grounds of rejection and the dates, calculate the reply period, and explain what it all means without legal jargon. We are not a law firm, we do not provide legal advice, and we do not represent anyone before the USPTO. Where a response needs to be filed, we connect you with a registered US patent attorney or agent who takes professional responsibility for the work.

Who am I actually dealing with here?

A document-analysis service, not a law firm. That distinction is not a disclaimer we bury in a footer; it determines what we can honestly do for you.

What we do well: reading a dense document accurately and telling you what it says, including which parts we are not sure about. What we do not do: tell you whether the examiner is right, or file anything on your behalf.

Why this exists

The gap we set out to close is the first hour. Someone receives an Office Action, cannot tell how serious it is, cannot work out the deadline reliably, and cannot get a straight answer about cost without booking a consultation. That is a bad position to make decisions from, and none of the information needed to fix it is secret.

So the first thing we do is free, requires no account, and returns facts rather than a sales conversation: what the document says, when the reply is due, and what a response would involve. If it turns out you do not need professional help, we would rather say so than sell you something.

How we work

Every fact we report about your document carries the page it came from, so you can check it.

Where automated analysis is uncertain, we mark it uncertain rather than presenting a confident guess.

A person reviews automated output before it reaches you.

Deadline calculations are deterministic and show the rules they applied.

Your document is stored privately, is never published, and is deleted on request.

Questions people ask

No. We are a document-analysis and triage service. We do not provide legal advice, we do not represent applicants before the USPTO, and using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship.

A trained reviewer checks the automated output against the document before it is sent. Where a legal judgement is needed, that is referred to a registered US patent practitioner rather than answered by us.

The analysis is free. Where an applicant wants a response prepared, we connect them with a registered US patent practitioner. We are transparent about that relationship, and it never changes what our analysis of a document says.
