Easily explore a patent or family with the Gen AI assistant. There are two versions of this AI assistant that lets you ask questions about patents. One that helps you understand a specific patent’s prosecution history and another that lets you explore claims across a patent family.
See a family tree for your patent. Family trees are exportable, generated in real-time from public data sources and include PCTs and foreign patents. We also provide a downloadable list of all family members, including relevant dates and patent numbers. Our full-screen mode makes it easy to view complex family trees.
Easy access to the history of your patent. If you are looking at a patent for the first time or one that you haven't seen in a while, you can quickly get up to speed. Patent timelines include key dates (priority, filing, publication, and grant dates) and important events from prosecution (office actions, RCEs, and appeals), and post-issuance events (maintenance fees and expiration date).
The easiest way to analyze any U.S. patent application or issued patent. We present the specification, claims, reference labels, and figures in four independently scrollable columns. Highlight words or phrases with your mouse to create a hotlist of words and phrases that are highlighted in the columns. Useful for both prosecutors and litigators.
View and download image file wrapper documents without the hassles of PAIR. Our IFW access works even when PAIR is down and no captcha is required! We also annotate the image file wrapper to show you the rejections present in office actions (for more recent office actions).
We automatically generate claim charts in a Microsoft Word file that you can use for an infringement, invalidity, or other analysis. We also have direct links for the patent at other websites you go to (USPTO assignments, USPTO maintenance fees, and Espacenet).

The patent timelines provide a succinct visual history of a case, enabling me to quickly assess key dates and prosecution events (such as office actions, RCEs, and appeals), which helps me get up to speed on transferred matters and more efficiently review recommended strategies for matters I supervise.
Whether you have a third RCE or a first office action makes an enormous difference with prosecution strategy. A unitary patent versus a large family also matters. Start your office action response preparation with PatentPlex.
