What am I agreeing to, in one paragraph?
That we will read your document and tell you what it says, that this is not legal advice and does not make us your lawyers, that you keep all rights in what you upload, and that you check the dates against the document before relying on them.
What the service is
We read a document you send us and report what it contains: dates, the type of action, the grounds of rejection asserted, the claims affected and the references cited, together with a plain-English explanation and a calculated reply period. That is the whole of the service provided through this website.
What the service is not
It is not legal advice, and it is not a legal opinion on your application.
It is not representation before the USPTO. We do not file documents on your behalf.
It is not a prediction of whether your application will be granted.
It is not a substitute for a registered patent attorney or agent.
It does not create an attorney-client relationship, and no confidence privileged under that relationship arises from using it.
Your responsibilities
Upload only documents you are entitled to share with us.
Verify every date against the document itself before relying on it. Automated extraction can be wrong, which is why we show you the page each fact came from.
Do not use the service to attempt to obtain legal advice from us; we are not able to give it.
Do not attempt to circumvent the technical limits on uploads, or to use the service to process material unrelated to US patent prosecution.
Accuracy and limits
Automated document analysis is imperfect. We mitigate that by extracting facts deterministically where possible, by attaching a page reference and a confidence level to every fact, by declining to report anything we cannot ground in the document, and by having a person review output before it is sent. None of that makes the analysis a guarantee, and the deadline calculation is arithmetic over published rules rather than legal advice about your case.
Your documents
You retain all rights in what you upload. You give us permission to store and process the document for the purpose of providing the analysis, including sending relevant pages to the model provider described on our AI and document processing page. We do not publish your document, we do not sell it, and we do not use it to train models. You can withdraw that permission by asking us to delete it.
