FAQ
Straight answers.
What ClaimMark-P does, what it costs, and where your client data goes.
What is ClaimMark-P?
ClaimMark-P is AI-assisted software for patent attorneys and agents. It drafts patent applications (claims, specification, figures and an editable DOCX) from a structured invention record, and it reads USPTO Office Actions, maps the cited references to the claims and drafts amendments and arguments. Every claim element, specification paragraph and argument is traced to its source.
Is ClaimMark the same as ClaimMaster?
No. ClaimMaster is a separate, long-established Microsoft Word add-in for patent proofreading and document automation, made by a different company. ClaimMark-P, made by ClaimMark Inc., is a web workspace that drafts applications and Office Action responses with source tracing. The two products are not affiliated.
Who is ClaimMark-P for?
US patent attorneys and agents, in law firms and in-house. ClaimMark-P launches for software, AI, cloud, cybersecurity and data-processing inventions, where its output has been validated.
How much does ClaimMark-P cost?
Pay per filing at $500 per patent application and $200 per Office Action response, or take a monthly package for drafting, Office Actions or both. Pricing is by the work prepared, not by seats. Restriction and election responses are free.
Is client data used to train AI models?
No. Every model provider in the ClaimMark-P stack operates under published no-training terms, and zero-data-retention arrangements are in force. Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest on AWS infrastructure in the United States.
Can ClaimMark-P respond to an Office Action on an application it did not draft?
Yes. Enter the application, publication or patent number to retrieve the Office Action and file wrapper from the USPTO, or upload the action yourself.
How accurate is it?
Across nine real Office Actions and 3,478 claim numbers, paragraph numbers and pin citations, ClaimMark-P's document reading misread none. Drafting results are internally validated; independent attorney and charter-customer validation is under way, and we say so until it is complete.
How well does ClaimMark’s prior-art search find the examiner’s art?
On 1,440 US patent applications filed after our search model was trained, ClaimMark’s search put about twice as much of the examiner-cited prior art in its top 20 results as keyword search alone (11.4% vs 5.5%; 95% interval for the gain 1.9x–2.3x). On 3,935 applications whose first office action rejected an independent claim over US prior art, it found at least one of the examiner’s main rejection references in its top 100 results for 34.8% of applications and in its top 1,000 for 62.1%, against 20.3% and 40.7% for keyword search. The full study, with its method and the ten conditions a search test needs, is at claimmark.ai/search/testing/. Read the study.
Does ClaimMark-P file anything or give legal advice?
No. ClaimMark Inc. is a software company, not a law firm. ClaimMark-P produces drafts; the attorney makes every legal judgment, reviews the work, signs and files.
Who makes ClaimMark-P?
ClaimMark Inc., founded by Ken Greenwood, an enterprise software architect, and Jürgen Vollrath, a registered U.S. patent attorney and former Chief IP Officer of SAP.
