It
can be very costly to fix mistakes in issued patents or non-compliant
Office Action responses. Some mistakes might significantly limit
claim scope or even render patents invalid. Therefore, it is
critical to proofread patent applications or the USPTO correspondence
to
spot any potential problems,
such as missing antecedent references, claim numbering problems,
incorrect status indicators, or
inconsistent part numbering. If you are a patent prosecutor,
ClaimMaster provides you with a set of powerful proofreading tools that
will help you check patent claims and specifications for mistakes, thus
allowing you to draft higher-quality patent applications without
overextending your resources. These tools will serve as your "second
set of eyes" when proofreading your patent documents. On
the flip side, if you are involved
in patent litigation, ClaimMaster will also help you identify the
same problems in the asserted patents.
