Prosecution simulation

Know the outcome before the first Office action.

Upload a specification and a claim set. PTO Sim runs full rounds of examination — rejection, response, amendment — until the case resolves, then shows you every path it took to get there.

How it works

Four steps, one afternoon. Works for new filings and for cases already under rejection.

01

Upload the file

Specification plus a claim set for a new filing, or the pending claims and the current Office action for a live case.

02

Set the strategy

Your organization's prosecution posture — hold claims early, amend hard to cut rounds — guides every simulated response.

03

Run examination

Rejections, responses, and amendments iterate until the case is allowed or the record is exhausted.

04

Pick your path

Take the final allowance or stop at an interim round. Every option arrives costed and dated.

The record

Every round, with the examiner's reasoning attached.

You see the rejection, the response, and exactly which claim language moved. Take the allowance at the end, or stop at an earlier round that keeps more scope.

R1 §103 over Kim in view of Alvarez Argue only — no amendment scope 100%
R2 §103 maintained, Alvarez mapping narrowed Narrow amendment + declaration scope 91%
Examiner reasoning

Examiner concedes Alvarez's recalibration is inter-frame, but maintains the rejection on the broader "updating" language. Indicates allowable subject matter if the interval constraint is recited affirmatively.

Decision data

Choose the path with the numbers in front of you.

Each simulated path carries a cost, a timeline, and a scope consequence. Compare them side by side, set a house strategy, and give in-house counsel a defensible answer at the start of the case instead of the end.

Cost per path, split between attorney time and Office fees.
Scope retained at each exit, measured against the claims as filed.
