PatentNode reads the rejection, fetches every reference, drafts the response. Your judgment stays in the loop.
Smith teaches a temperature-controlled reservoir; Lee, a pressure valve.
Claim 1(c) “feedback loop responsive to fluid pressure” → Lee Fig. 3, el. 28.
Examiner cites MPEP §2143(A). Counter: different problem domains.
Narrow to “closed-loop pressure feedback < 5 psi” — preserves scope.
Every stage runs on a model purpose-built for US Office Action responses.
Five specialized models, each owning one stage of the response, all trained on the public USPTO corpus. Not a chat model in a thin wrapper; each is tuned on Office Action work, so it speaks the conventions of examination.
The agent does the legwork; you make the judgment calls.
Every rejection extracted with statute (§101 / §102 / §103 / §112), examiner reasoning, and cited references.
Patent Center, Google Patents, NPL DOI lookup; cited references are pulled and parsed automatically.
Per rejection: reference mechanism, claim mapping, combination motivation, amendment risk. The bundle waits for you.
Review and edit the structured analysis in the workbench. The drafting models begin only after you confirm.
Amendment and argument language drafted from your validated analysis; ready for your second review.
Review and refine the drafts (cancel a claim, file a Terminal Disclaimer, reconcile overlapping amendments), then PatentNode assembles the response and the polished bilingual client report.
The report you hand your client, in their language, on every rejection.
Smith teaches a temperature-controlled reservoir; Lee teaches a pressure-controlled valve. The examiner reads Lee's valve as supplying Smith's reservoir-level signal.
Claim 1 element (c), 'a feedback loop responsive to fluid pressure,' is mapped to Lee Fig. 3 element 28 in the rejection.
The examiner cites MPEP §2143(A): combining known elements for a predictable result. The strongest counter is that Smith and Lee target different problem domains.
Narrow claim 1 to 'closed-loop pressure feedback below 5 psi.' This clears Lee's broader teaching without surrendering the original commercial scope.
