Prior art & IDS filing packages
The complexity of preparing Information Disclosure Statement (IDS) filing packages can be time-consuming and costly. Derwent provides full-scale support around the preparation and management of IDS filing packages, including prior art/reference entry for submission to the USPTO. We review all related applications to ensure that submissions include references found throughout the family. We work directly with you to understand existing processes and procedures, developing a clear and concise workflow and process guide to detail all requirements.
Notice of allowance review
At the end of the prosecution process, we run a comprehensive review of the status up to that point. Our experts review all claim submissions for accuracy and do a comprehensive review of the prosecution to date, ensuring that all submissions are complete and confirmed.
Patent proofreading & certificate of correction preparation
Using proprietary proofreading tools and processes, we examine issued patents for accuracy, scrutinizing data for errors that can affect the enforceability of the patent, including: a review of the priority, continuity and bibliographic information for errors; claim sets; numbering and inconsistencies. We take it to the next step, preparing and supporting filing the Certificate of Correction.
