Enables Patent Office Rules Compliance for Preexamination Search Reports and Examination Support Documents.

37 CFR workflow automation uses a step-by-step approach to guide users through every phase of classification, search, and report generation, complying with 37 CFR and MPEP rules.

Affordable - Cuts 40% or more off of the Time and Cost of preparing Accelerated Examination Support Document (AESD) preexamination search reports.

37 CFR LSA (artificial intelligence) patent search engine drastically outperforms Boolean keyword search engines, and automatically compiles all required forms and references for EFS-Web filing.

Easy to Use – patent attorneys and agents search using full text queries (in conversational English, not keyword gibberish) to identify the “most closely related” prior art, faster than skilled searchers using a Boolean patent search engine.

The full text of your claims automatically becomes your search query. No keywords or Boolean operators to worry about. BusinessWeek called our proven search technology "Beyond Google" ... because it really is.

Finds patents that meet “obviousness” under new USPTO Examination Guidelines, in light of KSR v Teleflex - the relevant patents that Boolean keyword patent search engines miss.

37 CFR's Latent Semantic Analysis search technology understands 2.5 million distinct invention concepts, and identifies closely related prior art that's impossible to find using any keyword search engine.

Decision-support search tools that quickly present you with the “most closely related” references listed first.

37 CFR's artificial intelligence does not replace yours. Considering the "broadest interpretation of the claims", LSA instantly relevancy ranks the most closely related prior art, so you can spend your valuable time deciding, not searching.

Find prior art “deemed most closely related” to each patent claim – and find it faster and more reliably using the industry’s most advanced patent classification and patent search automation tools.

The 37 CFR LSA search engine understands every possible US class / subclassification combination (about 150,000), and instantly identifies the most closely related classes for each claim. You simply review and select - no more browsing through endless class/subclass drill-down menus.

Helps produce Higher Quality Patents from higher quality search reports.

A patent search that finds highly relevant art before filing an application helps reduce the number of: §102 or §103 rejections, claims amendments (Festo), and possibly higher defensibility after issuance - or during post grant opposition should it occur.

Reduces Patent Examiner Rejections resulting from procedural or mechanical deficiencies.

37 CFR workflow software is the ultimate roadmap to navigating the maze of complex rules for preexamination searches and examination support documents. The step-by-step process helps ensure that your application complies with all applicable PTO rules.

Consolidates search results from 37CFR’s US and Foreign patent data bases with search results from your chemical, sequence or non patent literature repositories.

37 CFR integrates 9 million US and foreign patent documents, so you only need to "point and click" to include the appropriate prior art references in your final report. Copy and paste to add references from your specialized patent or non-patent literature into the final report.

Prints a ready-to-file search report and associated USPTO forms.

Gone are the days of pasting references in and out of Word and Excel documents to build your search report. 37 CFR compiles a complete, ready-to-sign search report package, including automatically completed transmittal forms, search report forms, and copies of references. Electronically file the PDF output using the USPTO's EFS-Web.
