USPTO Patent Attorney/Agent: Review Response to Non-Final Office Action (Utility Patent)
Upwork · Anywhere
We have a filed U.S. utility patent application and have received a Non-Final Office Action from the USPTO. A response has been fully drafted. We need a registered USPTO practitioner to conduct a precise technical and legal audit of this response and advise on final strategy before submission.
Scope of Work
• Legal Audit: Review the drafted response to ensure it effectively traverses the Examiner's rejections (e.g., Section 102/103 or 101) without unnecessarily narrowing claim scope.
• Technical Review: Verify that all technical arguments align perfectly with the specification and drawings.
• Strategic Advice: Provide clear recommendations on how to proceed (e.g., whether to request an Examiner Interview or submit supplemental declarations).
Requirements
• Active USPTO Registration Number (Required for verification).
• Proven experience in patent prosecution and successfully overcoming USPTO Office Actions.
• Strong background in evaluating utility patent claim scope and prosecution history estoppel.
