The technical work, ordered. The strategy, yours.
Spes Pat is an assistance system for patent work across multiple jurisdictions —INPI Argentina, USPTO, EPO, Brazil and PCT—, from drafting the application to responding to the Office Action.
What it is
Spes Pat assists in drafting applications, searching the prior art (including non-patent literature), patentability analysis, opinions on third-party patents, and responses to office actions.
Multi-jurisdiction
INPI Argentina, USPTO, EPO, Brazil and PCT within a single workflow.
Prior art
Search for prior art references, including the non-patent literature that is usually left out.
From the application to the office action
It accompanies the drafting, the patentability analysis and the response to Office Actions.
How it works
The system is designed with disciplines that protect the agent's judgement —they do not replace it.
It separates the search from the opinion
The system searches and observes; the agent opines and decides.
It verifies deadlines and thresholds
It checks the deadlines and regulatory requirements rather than relying on memory.
It flags every prior art reference
Every reference and citation is flagged for verification against the source.
It distinguishes what is verified
It separates what has been checked from what still requires further analysis.
The agent's judgement prevails
The technical conclusion and the strategic decision belong to the agent or lawyer in charge.
For the professional
Designed for the real work of the agent, not for the public.
Fewer prior art references missed
The search reaches the non-patent literature, not only the patent databases.
International deadlines under control
The thresholds of each jurisdiction, verified and in plain sight.
The file, ready to decide on
Search and observations ordered; the opinion you sign yourself.
Legal notice
Spes Pat is a tool of assistance to search and analysis in patent matters. It does not issue patentability or freedom-to-operate (FTO) opinions, nor does it guarantee the exhaustiveness of the search. Every prior art reference and citation must be verified. The opinion and the strategic decision rest with the industrial property agent or lawyer in charge.
Spes Pat provides technical assistance services and does not act as an industrial property agent, nor does it assume responsibility for the prosecution of applications. Professional responsibility for the work rests with the agent or lawyer in charge.
