37CFR is an advanced WEB 3.0 software solution used to quickly, efficiently and accurately complete prior art search reports for patent applications when required by US Patent and Trademark Office rules.

37CFR integrates intelligent patent classification and patent search automation tools into a robust, Browser-based workflow application that simplifies the preexamination prior art search and Accelerated Examination Support Documents (AESD).

37CFR indexes data from multiple PatentCafe databases, including: US and foreign full text patents, and US Patent Classification definitions.

And, 37CFR is the only search solution that applies a semantic understanding of prior art “Obviousness”, to help meet the new USPTO Examination Guidelines (published 10.07) in light of KSR v Teleflex.
