Key Features

Automated Patent Proofreading: ClaimMaster's patent proofreading tools, integrated within Microsoft Word, enhance the quality of patent applications. The tool checks for various issues such as missing antecedent basis, lack of specification support, inconsistent claims and part numbers, incorrect amendments and status indicators, and other errors. Users can conveniently review and correct the identified issues directly in the document.

Automated Patent Application Drafting: ClaimMaster's automated patent application drafting tools maximize productivity and efficiency. Using natural language processing and customizable templates, users can generate document sections, figures, flowcharts, and more. The OpenAI GPT feature allows users to define terms, explain technology, rewrite, shorten, expand text, and create sample data tables.

Generation of Office Action Response Shells and Forms: ClaimMaster streamlines the drafting of Office Action responses and USPTO forms. Users can analyze Office Actions and generate response shells, USPTO forms, client correspondence, and other patent documents. The tool automatically populates the relevant bibliographic information into the generated documents, reducing data entry errors and improving efficiency. Users can also create and reuse their own shells and forms.

Patent Analysis and Downloading Automation: ClaimMaster simplifies the analysis and downloading of patent images and data from various sources. It provides automated access to the USPTO's Patent Center, Private PAIR, Espacenet, and Google Patents within Microsoft Word. Users can generate patent family trees for US and foreign patents and batch download patent text, PDFs, and image file wrappers. The Patent Reader feature allows quick review and analysis of text and figures in patents and publications.

Secure, Customizable, and User-Friendly: ClaimMaster runs locally on the user's computer/network, ensuring inherent security and eliminating cloud-based service risks. Most proofreading rules, templates, shells, and forms can be customized to fit specific practice requirements. The integration with Microsoft Word provides a user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily review results and generate reports. ClaimMaster has been trusted by numerous IP professionals globally, demonstrating its reliability and effectiveness.
