Basic proofreading reports
ClaimMaster provides predefined, one-click "basic" reports for claims, Office Action responses, and patent applications. All basic reports can be generated in HTML, Word, PDF, or Word sidebar formats.These reports provide the following fundamental proofreading checks:
- Basic claims/Office Action response report - identifies only the major potential issues with the claims in the document. Specific checks include claim numbering, amendments and status identifier errors, and missing antecedents.
- Basic claims/Office Action response report with a separate specification file - identifies only the major potential issues with the claims in the document. Specific checks include claim numbering, amendments and status identifier errors, missing antecedents, and claim terms missing support in the separate specification file or the specification downloaded for the published US patent application #.
- Basic patent application report - identifies only the major potential issues with the claims and the specification. Specific checks include claim numbering, amendments and status identifier errors, missing antecedents, claim terms missing support in the specification, and inconsistently used or numbered parts, and similarly (but contextually incorrectly) spelled words. In addition, depending on whether you select the "with figures" or "without figures" option, the software will may also checks figures corresponding to the application for any part numbering inconsistencies.
