Motivation

How many times you found yourself calculating your client's PCT characteristics when an analysis or national phase prosecution is required?? From number of pages through number of claims (and independent claims), drawings, IPC, to translation issues and number of words....

That was the motivation for us to build a straightforward engine that do all the extraction stuff for you. Including statistical and other helpful advanced information to dramatically short your analysis work and give you the ability to deal with business only.

Another motivation for automatic extraction of PCT information is to provide a quick & easy quote for National Phase entry, for a desired PCT application.

Such a quote should be obtained by automatic download of the PCT details required for the quote, without the need to get into the online register, look for the data manually, and perform repetitive work.

What we do

Once requested, the smart engine enters into online registers (WIPO For example) in order to automatically extract the PCT details, and save it in a well-structured format (txt file, xml etc.). Once a PCT Application Number or a PCT Publication Number is inserted, the data can be downloaded by the system so as to further insert it easily into the docketing system, by the client’s internal development effort in-house.

Once PCT details are extracted, with a minimal customization that adds your quote formula, a quote can be automatically generated within the system itself. Such mechanism provides end-2-end service, once a PCT application or publication number is inserted. A National Phase entry quote might be a complex one (depending on the number of the countries in which NP is required, official fee formula differences, service fees etc.), so taking this tool a step further might be an option as well.

In addition, manual update of the PCT specification (#claims etc. required for the NP entry) is enabled in order to provide flexibility in the quote generation.

Web Access

An online service that includes an ability to insert a PCT Application or Publication Number, review the results, and download the result in a txt, Xls or XML format.

Once proper configuration is introduced, automatic quotes for national phase filing can be obtained to include official fees, service fees and translation fees, where applicable.
