Patent office action responses, with the record in view.
Boundly pulls the file wrapper, lays out each rejection by ground and claim, and shows how your examiner and art unit have ruled and how practitioners answered. You decide every argument and stay the author.
Included in every plan. From $78 per seat per month, billed yearly.
How it works
Open the office action in AI Studio, inside the matter you are already working on.
Boundly pulls the USPTO file wrapper and lays out every rejection by ground and by claim.
On a prior art rejection, it checks the examiner’s mapping element by element, so nothing gets amended into a limitation the examiner has already read onto the art.
It shows how this examiner and art unit have handled rejections like yours. When Boundly finds your reference cited before in the art unit, it shows how those applicants answered it.
You choose to amend, argue, or request an interview, and draft the response with tracked changes you can export.
Every rejection type, with the record behind it.
Eligibility, anticipation, obviousness, written description, indefiniteness. Whatever the examiner raised, you see how this examiner and art unit have handled it before you write a word.
How this examiner and art unit decide
For every rejection type, Boundly looks at how this examiner and art unit have handled that kind of rejection. Which arguments moved them, which amendments cleared it, and what they do not accept.
When your reference was cited before
Under §102 and §103, Boundly looks for other applications in the art unit where the same reference was cited. You see how each was answered, which arguments overcame it, which did not, in what order, and which passages they turned on.
The examiner’s claim mapping
On a prior art rejection, Boundly checks how the examiner mapped each claim element to the art, so an amendment does not move into a limitation the examiner has already read onto the reference.
Part of the matter you already have open
Office action responses run inside AI Studio, on the same matter as your claims, specification, prior art search, and figures. Working on compound or antibody claims? See Life Sciences in AI Studio.
Before filing, the Rejection Simulator checks a draft application. Once the examiner has issued an office action, this is where you respond.
What stays with you
- Boundly does not file anything with the USPTO. You sign and file the response.
- It does not track or calculate deadlines. Those stay in your docketing system.
- It does not pick a strategy unless you ask. If you already have a view on amend, argue, RCE, or interview, it follows your lead.
- Every argument and amendment is yours to accept, edit, or discard.
