ClaimMaster immediately pays for itself.  For example, the cost of correcting a few Office Action responses non-compliant under CFR 1.121  is probably greater than the full price of ClaimMaster.  And ClaimMaster has plenty of other time-saving features. So if  you use ClaimMaster on hundreds of patent documents throughout a year, your savings (either direct or in the avoided overhead costs) will be significant.
