Generate an Information Disclosure StatementFrom a list of numbers to a Word document, with the dates filled in
Paste the patent numbers you need to disclose, or pick the prior-art PDFs you already have (only their file names are read; the files themselves never leave your computer). Each US patent and publication is looked up in the Patent Office's own records for its issue or publication date and first named inventor. Everything is sorted into the four IDS tables, numbered straight through, and written to a Word document you can check, sign and file. Foreign documents and literature are listed but not looked up, so fill in their dates by hand.
Fix a PDF that Patent Center rejectedPage size, orientation and margins under 37 CFR 1.84, with nothing blurred
Patent Center accepts only Letter or A4 pages. Drawings exported from PowerPoint, Keynote, CAD or a diagram tool come out at slide or drawing size, and scanners often produce Legal. All of those are refused. This puts every page, upright and to scale, on a proper sheet inside the required margins (top 1", left 1", right 5/8", bottom 3/8"). Vector drawings stay vector. Sticky-note annotations are flattened away, and fonts that are not embedded are reported.
Fix a Word file that Patent Center rejectedFonts, language tags, tracked changes and comments, with the wording untouched
Patent Center checks the specification, claims and abstract as a .docx, and refuses fonts that are not on the USPTO's list. Files saved from LibreOffice, Google Docs or a firm template often name fonts nobody sees (Liberation Serif, Bookman Old Style, Lohit, WenQuanYi) and carry Arabic, Hebrew or Chinese language tags that trigger "non-Latin script detected". This swaps every unlisted font for Times New Roman, removes those language tags, accepts tracked changes, deletes comments, and strips protection, macros and embedded fonts. The words themselves are not changed. Hidden text and unusual characters are reported for you to look at.
Shrink a scanned PDF without losing anythingAbout 45% smaller, verified pixel for pixel
Patent documents, file wrappers and journal scans are usually 300 dpi black-and-white page images stored as CCITT Group 4. JBIG2 keeps the same pixels in roughly half the space. Every page is rendered before and after and compared bit for bit; a result is kept only if it is identical and smaller. Symbol-matching (the mode behind the well-known scanner digit-swap bug) is never used. Colour and greyscale scans are left alone, because shrinking those would mean throwing something away.
Label patent drawingsReference numerals, leader lines and the reference numeral list
Open the drawing, list the parts and click each part once. Every numeral is set in clear paper beside the figure, with a short leader line that crosses as little of the drawing as possible and never runs into another numeral or leader. Drag anything you want elsewhere. Claude can do the clicking: it reads a gridded copy of the sheets, names and numbers the parts, and you paste its answer in. You get a labeled PDF with the font embedded, an editable PowerPoint, and the numeral list as a Word table for the specification.
How this works, and what it is not
Your files. The drawing labeler never uploads anything. For the other tools, a file you drop in is sent to our web server, processed by a script, and offered back to you. Nobody reads it. Uploads and results are deleted automatically within an hour, and there is no account, no log-in and no tracking of what was in them.
Nothing is filed. These tools never talk to Patent Center. The IDS generator reads public bibliographic data from the Patent Office's Open Data Portal, and an offline copy of its PatentsView bulk data for older patents; it sends nothing there.
Open source. Under the hood these are Vermilion (the PDF and Word fixers and the shrinker), Sienna (the IDS generator) and Sanguine (the drawing labeler), published free under the MIT licence at veered.org. If you would rather run them on your own computer, you can.
Not legal advice. A rebuilt drawing or cleaned Word file still has to meet the rules in force when you file, and an IDS is only as good as the references you chose to disclose and the lines you checked against the documents. Check every line before you file anything.
