Pressure points

See which limitation the examiner targeted, which claims they conceded as allowable, and where the specification supports narrowing.

Final action Argue Amend An argument that failed once pushes toward amending

Argue or amend

A recommendation for each rejection. On a Final action it brings in what was already argued.

How the attorney works with it

You stay in control at every step

Semantyr starts after the drafting and the filing. It reads the Office Action that follows.

One layout, every workflow

Three rails. You always know where you are.

Every Semantyr workflow works the same way. Here, the rails are the challenge, the invention and your defense.

Built around the legal ground

Every ground has its own boxes

Each Office Action is held in the same four levels. Each legal ground records what matters for that ground.

NOVELTY

What the reference does not show

Records which limitation the cited reference does not show.

OBVIOUSNESS

Why the examiner combined references

Records the examiner's reason for combining the references.

ABSTRACT IDEA

The words called abstract

Records the exact claim words the examiner called abstract.

Exact first, judged second

The model does real work here, in a narrow lane

The precise parts are done without a language model. The judgment parts happen inside a fixed structure, one narrow question at a time.

Exact

No language model.
  • Splits each claim into its limitations
  • Finds the examiner's exact phrase in the claim
  • Pulls in earlier documents by date and role
  • Checks that every term has a clear antecedent
  • Checks that dependencies point to real claims and numbering holds

Judged

By the language model, inside the four levels.
  • Reads the examiner's prose and says what was targeted, and why
  • Recommends argue or amend for each rejection
  • Works on facts already pulled out, so each answer is a narrow question

It recommends. The attorney decides. It is not legal advice.

Counting or measuring

Why the plan is different

The usual way
The Semantyr way
Input
The whole Office Action given to a chat model.
The rejection is broken into its ground and its claims first.
Output
A summary.
A plan: one narrow question answered at a time.
Traceability
Hard to say where a point came from.
Every point links to the examiner's words and your claim language.

Questions we hear

Which offices does it cover?+
US and European Office Actions.
Is this legal advice?+
No. Semantyr recommends and the attorney decides. It shows what the examiner targeted and why, and suggests whether to argue or amend.
What do I need to bring?+
The file wrapper documents: the Office Action, earlier replies, the claims, the specification, cited references and family members. Scanned pages are read automatically, and you confirm what each document is.
Is this a drafting tool?+
No. Semantyr starts where search and drafting tools end. Prosecution Analysis reads the Office Action that follows, builds the plan and checks the claims. The attorney decides what to file.
How does it decide between arguing and amending?+
It looks at which limitation was targeted, which claims were conceded as allowable, and where the specification supports narrowing. On a Final action it also brings in what was already argued, so an argument that failed once pushes the advice toward amending.
Can I export my work?+
Yes. Export your claims to Word at any time.
Is my data used to train models?+
No. Customer data is never used to train any model, and workspaces are isolated from each other. Read more on the Trust & Security page.
