Using AI to Analyze OA Rejections [+Drafting versions] 

ClaimMaster lets you quickly analyze rejections in the Office Action using one or more pre-configured LLM templates. In addition to the prompt, ClaimMaster will pass the relevant content of the OA, prior art, and claims to the LLM.  The LLM prompt is up to you, but at a minimum, you can ask the configured LLM to summarize the rejections in the OA, analyze each cited reference and how the Examiner is using it, explain the Examiner's reasoning and mapping of prior art to claims, identify gaps or errors in the Examiner's analysis, and provide recommendations (e.g., claim amendments, arguments) for overcoming the rejection.
