So can you help me or not?
With understanding your document, yes, and that is often the part nobody else will do quickly or cheaply.
With deciding what to file and filing it, no — that is legal work reserved to registered practitioners, and we will introduce you to one rather than pretend otherwise.
Where the line is
| We do this | A registered practitioner does this |
|---|---|
| Report which grounds of rejection appear in your document | Assess whether each rejection is well founded |
| Calculate the reply period from the mailing date and action type | Advise on strategy in light of the deadline |
| Explain what a ground of rejection generally means | Advise what it means for your claims |
| Summarise what the examiner wrote | Decide how to answer it |
| Describe the routes available after a final action | Recommend which route to take, and file it |
On automated analysis
Part of our analysis is produced by an automated language model reading your document. That is disclosed everywhere it applies. A model reading a document is not a lawyer reading a document, and we do not present it as one: it extracts and summarises, its output is tied to specific pages, its uncertainty is shown rather than hidden, and a person reviews it before you see it.
We do not use automated analysis to generate a response to the USPTO, and we do not intend to. Drafting a reply is legal work.
If your deadline is close, do not wait on us
Our analysis is fast but it is not a substitute for acting. If a reply period is about to expire, contact a registered US patent practitioner immediately, and note that extensions of time under 37 C.F.R. 1.136(a) can often be bought if the six-month statutory limit has not passed.
