Tools for working out where you stand

Free tools for working out where you stand: the Office Action deadline calculator and the document analyzer.

Two tools, both free and both usable without an account. The deadline calculator turns a mailing date and an action type into the reply period, the extension dates and the six-month statutory limit. The document analyzer reads an uploaded Office Action and reports the application number, mailing date, action type, grounds of rejection, claims affected and references cited, with the page each fact came from.

Can I get an answer without talking to anyone?

Yes. Both tools work without an account, a card or a conversation.

No. The calculator needs only the mailing date and the action type, both of which are on the front page of your Office Action.

How your Office Action deadline is calculated

The reply period runs from the mailing date. How the three-month and two-month periods work, what extensions buy, and the six-month wall.
