For law firms, solo practitioners, and patent agentsPatly Examiner simulates the examination your draft will get under 101, 102, 103, and 112, and returns the rejections with the responses already drafted. Add drawings, prior art with the IDS built, and a filing review to the same order. Per application, no seats. You keep the client, the signature, and the fee.
Per application · no seats, no plug‑ins · never trained on, deleted when you ask
Step 2A, prong two fails on the receiving and comparing limitations. Response drafted: recite the sensor calibration of paragraph [0031] in claim 1.
Ref. B teaches the thresholding step at col. 4, lines 12 to 40. Response drafted: amend with the claim 4 limitation and argue against the motivation to combine.
No standard in the specification. Replace with the tolerance recited at paragraph [0042].
Non‑final on 103, allowance after one amendment. Benchmark: above the field median on claim support, below on figure count.
The same pipeline that files university patents at a flat $5,500
Every application we file for a university is examined this way before counsel signs it. Now you can run it on yours →
Every drafting tool helps you write the application. None of them tells you what the examiner will say about it. One US utility application, by the numbers:
The rejections are not a surprise to the examiner. The claim that reads on the abstract idea, the reference in the same art unit, the word "substantially" with no standard behind it: these are visible on the day you file. Patly Examiner runs that examination before you file, so the first office action is one you have already answered.
Each one is a stage of the pipeline that drafts and files university patents, opened to practitioners. Buy the stage you need on the matter you need it for.
Your draft, examined adversarially under 101, 102, 103, and 112, hunting for the strongest rejection available. You get the office action, the cited art, the drafted responses, a patentability scorecard, and a drafting grade against filings in your field.
Upload the office action you received. Patly reads the rejections and the cited references, drafts the amendment and the arguments, and shows you where the examiner's reading of the art is weakest. You edit and sign.
References retrieved as page‑accurate PDFs and read against your claim set, each with a relevance read. The SB/08 is filled and the reference PDFs are attached, ready for Patent Center. Live now as the prior art explorer.
Figures rendered from your specification to 37 CFR 1.84, every reference numeral cross‑checked against the text, no orphan or duplicate labels. Editable vector output. Existing drawings reviewed for compliance.
Titles, figure numbers, reference numerals, claim numbering, inventor names, and docket numbers checked for consistency. Placeholders and draft artifacts removed. Every cited reference verified to exist and to say what the draft says it does. A change log and an open‑items list.
For solos, small firms, and agents. Claims with the dependent ladder, specification, abstract, drawings, prior art with the IDS, and the examination, all from one disclosure, in one pass. You review, revise, and sign under your own name.
Not a copilot. Each order returns a finished work product for a registered practitioner to review.
No plug‑in, no seat, no onboarding call. Ask us for a trial code to try it on a matter of your own.
Upload the draftClaims and specification as DOCX or PDF, figures if you have them. Or upload the disclosure and order the full package.
Run the examinationMinutes later: the rejections, the cited art, the drafted responses, the scorecard, and the benchmark grade, as a PDF you can attach to the matter.
Review and fileYou decide what to change, you sign, you file. The report stays with the matter, and when the real office action arrives you already know what it says.
for examination, prior art with the IDS, drawings, and review on one application, against the $10,000 to $15,000 you bill to draft and file it, and the $2,300 to $4,000 for each response you will not have to write.
Flat, published prices on every order. Blocks bring the rate down. Nothing is billed by the hour or by the user unless you ask for the firm plan.

Blocks are prepaid and drawn down as you run examinations. Respond stays $299 at any volume.
The default order for a draft you wrote yourself and are about to file.
Blocks are prepaid and drawn down as you order. Provisional packages stay $995 at any volume. One price for the application, whoever signs it: $5,500 is what a university pays to have licensed counsel sign it and have us file it, and what a firm pays to sign and file it under its own name. Against the $10,000 to $15,000 you bill to draft and file one, the difference is your margin.
For the firms and IP departments that file in the thousands
against the $2,300 to $4,000 you bill for each response, and the $1,500 in USPTO fees for a first RCE, on a rejection you could have answered before filing.
Compared by category, because the distinction that matters is what each kind of tool was built to do. Named examples are given for orientation, and the marks describe the category.

Outside counsel bills $10,000 to $15,000 to draft and file one non‑provisional. The package is $5,500 a filing with the drawings, the search and the IDS included, and costs nothing in the months you have no matters.
Order the package on the matters you have, at $5,500 per non‑provisional or $995 per provisional, and nothing in the months you do not.
Patly drafts applications for research universities and routes each one to a registered practitioner whose practice matches the technology. Practitioners in the network review, sign, and are paid per filing.
Uploads stay in your account for the matter, are never used to train a model, and are deleted when you ask. Prior art maps stay until you delete them. DPA and NDA on request.
Built for the USPTO's April 2024 guidance on AI tools: the signature is yours and cannot be delegated. Patly Examiner makes the reasonable inquiry faster.
Every order has a flat price on this page. Bill it through to the matter or absorb it; there is no hourly exposure either way.
Seven patent applications filed on how Patly works, and every university filing goes through this examination before counsel signs it.
No. A copilot helps you write. Patly Examiner takes what you wrote and examines it the way the Office will, then hands you the rejections with the responses drafted. Keep whatever you draft with and run Patly Examiner on the output.
For Patly Examiner, the claims and specification as DOCX or PDF, and the figures if you have them. For Respond, the office action and the application as filed. For the package, a disclosure: a write‑up, a paper, a deck, or notes from the inventor.
Run it on the last ten applications you filed and compare the report with the office actions you received. We will do that comparison with you. The examination hunts for the strongest rejection available rather than confirming the draft is fine, so it will sometimes raise a rejection the examiner does not; the ones it raises are the ones worth answering before filing.
Uploads stay in your account for the matter, are never used to train a model, and are deleted when you ask. Prior art maps stay until you delete them. A data processing agreement and an NDA are available on request.
The Office's April 2024 guidance on AI tools is the standard: the practitioner signs under 37 CFR 11.18, must make a reasonable inquiry, and cannot delegate the signature; using a tool is not by itself something that has to be disclosed. Patly Examiner exists to make that inquiry faster and more complete, not to replace it. Confidentiality under 37 CFR 11.106 is why uploads are never used to train a model and are deleted when you ask.
Patly drafts applications for research universities at a flat price, and a registered practitioner reviews and signs every one. Those practitioners are in our network and are paid per filing. The tools on this page are the ones we use to make that review fast; we are opening them to every practitioner, and the network is open to you.
Every order has a flat published price, so it can be passed through as a disbursement or absorbed into a flat fee. The Patly Examiner report attaches to the matter as the record of what was checked before filing.
Patly Examiner is $349 per application, $299 each in blocks of 10 or more and $249 in blocks of 50 or more. Respond is $299 per office action. Prior art and IDS is $199, drawings $149 per set, filing review $79, or all four with Patly Examiner as the filing‑ready bundle at $599. The non‑provisional package is $5,500 and the provisional package $995, the same rates a university pays, because it is the same application. What differs is who signs and files it: a university has no practitioner of its own, so licensed counsel reviews and signs before we file, and a firm signs under its own name.
