Office Action responses

A USPTO Office Action
response for a flat $1,500.

When the examiner rejects your claims, the response has to answer the examiner’s reasoning and cited references without giving away the coverage your business needs. Inventor Assistance Foundation prepares Office Action responses for a flat $1,500 per response, and the first response on an application we prepared is already included in its $4,000 fee.

How a response is built

Answer the examiner.
Keep what matters.

The work examines each rejection and the cited references, identifies the technical differences that matter and weighs arguments and amendments against the claim scope worth keeping.

Every proposed amendment and argument is tied to the support in your application. Before a response is final, one question is checked: after this response, will the claims still reach the product or feature that gives the invention its commercial value?

An amendment that moves prosecution forward but leaves the important implementation outside the claims deserves careful scrutiny.
