In this release of ClaimMaster, we’ve added a number of improvements to our various patent downloading tools<\/a>. Below are some of the new features and improvements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PEDs Access for IFW Downloading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

USPTO image file wrappers (IFWs) can get large and require fast access for downloading. In the past, downloading IFWs directly from Public PAIR was quite tedious. Recently, however, the USPTO made IFWs accessible through the PEDs portal<\/a>. We’ve now added access to the PEDs portal in our PAIR downloading tool, so that you can batch download multiple IFW documents directly from PEDs. This is the preferred way of obtaining file wrappers using ClaimMaster, at least for the publicly available documents. The advantage of using PEDs is that it’s very fast, theoretically should mirror data available from Public PAIR, and doesn’t require using the stand-alone IE downloader that’s needed to access\/scrub the Patent Center site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patent Reader Improvements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ClaimMaster 2021 added a new Patent Reader tool<\/a> that lets you conveniently review published US patent applications, US patents, and your own application drafts in an easy-to-review HTML document with annotated figures, smart search capabilities, and other helpful information. In this release, we’ve further enhanced the Patent Reader tool and added the ability to include family tree information and image file wrapper links to the generated patent report. To have this information added to the patent reader document, simply select Family Tree<\/strong> and Image File Wrapper<\/strong> checkboxes before generating the report, as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resulting HTML patent report will have separate tabs for the patent family tree, family table, and IFW, giving you quick access to the patent family and also the file wrapper of the specified patent. You can see a sample report here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
