Tools

• ptab_appeal ~280 tokens
  Get one USPTO ex parte Appeal decision by its appeal number (e.g. "2024-001234") — the Board's decision on an applicant's appeal of an examiner rejection. Returns the decision type, issue date, outcome (affirmed / reversed / affirmed-in-part), issues and rules at play, and the decision document titl
• ptab_party_exposure ~167 tokens
  Summarize PTAB proceeding exposure for a petitioner or patent owner, including roles, challenged patents, statuses, trial types, and recorded outcomes. Party matching follows USPTO indexed names and may combine similarly named entities; verify identity before relying on totals.
• ptab_patent_risk_profile ~172 tokens
  Summarize PTAB proceedings and recorded decision outcomes for one challenged patent. Reports status/outcome counts and recent matters for review routing; it is not a validity opinion, litigation forecast, freedom-to-operate analysis, or claim-level legal conclusion.
• ptab_proceeding_timeline ~178 tokens
  Build a chronological PTAB proceeding timeline from the proceeding record and its public decision documents. Returns institution, final-written-decision, rehearing, settlement, dismissal, and other recorded decision events; absence of an event is not proof that it never occurred.
• ptab_recent_decisions ~222 tokens
  Return and summarize recently issued public PTAB trial decisions, optionally filtered by trial type, patent, or party. Outcome labels describe the document-level USPTO record and require review in proceeding context; they are not claim-by-claim legal conclusions.
• ptab_search_appeals ~662 tokens
  Search USPTO ex parte Appeals decisions — an applicant's appeal of a patent examiner's rejection to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. This is a SEPARATE docket from AIA trials (IPR/PGR/CBM/derivation): an appeal number looks like "2024-001234", not "IPR2024-00001". Returns an outcome-count summary
• ptab_search_decisions ~494 tokens
  Search USPTO PTAB decision documents — institution decisions and final written decisions issued in IPR/PGR/CBM trials, plus appeal outcomes. Returns the trial number, decision type, issue date, trial/appeal outcome, the issue types and statutes/rules at play, and the decision document title + downlo
• ptab_search_documents ~376 tokens
  Search USPTO PTAB filings and documents within trial proceedings — petitions, patent-owner responses, expert declarations, exhibits, motions, and briefs. Pass `proceeding_number` (the trial number, e.g. "IPR2024-00001") to list every document filed in a proceeding, and/or `query` for free-text searc
• ptab_search_interferences ~487 tokens
  Search USPTO patent Interference decisions — pre-AIA priority contests between competing applicants/patentees over who invented first. A SEPARATE docket from AIA trials and ex parte Appeals. Filter by `patent_number` (a patent or application involved in the contest), `party` (junior- or senior-party
• ptab_search_proceedings ~624 tokens
  Search USPTO PTAB trial proceedings — patent litigation before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (inter partes review / IPR, post-grant review / PGR, covered-business-method / CBM, derivation).
