ClaimMaster's patent proofreading tools help users draft consistent documents by identifying drafting errors and inconsistencies in claim numbers, claim amendments, antecedent basis, claim term support, inconsistent part numbering in specification and figures, use of limiting terms and patent profanities, and inconsistent acronym usage, and other types of issues. ClaimMaster also has many time-saving tools for automated drafting of patent application sections and figures, manipulating claim amendments, generating and filling-out Office action shells, IDS and other USPTO forms. Moreover, ClaimMaster includes numerous tools for downloading and mapping data from the USPTO and EPO: it can generate patent family trees and batch download PDFs and file histories of patents and patent applications. > > Verdict: Rated **4.7/5** by 46 users.

I've used CM for more than ten years, and my favorite feature is checking that the claims are correct. I also like the claim summary for responses to Office Action. > > **Cons**: Nothing in particular that I like least about CM > > A perfect ten. It's a useful tool and I like to have it handy while I work on Microsoft Word. ----- ### "Great productivity software for patent attorneys" — 5.0/5 > **Jack** | *9 April 2024* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The value proposition is strong as this product does a great many functions. From IDS generation to claim proofing, it does it all. > > **Cons**: The user interface can be a bit complicated at times. > > Great value. They keep the product updated with the machinations of the USPTO patentcenter site. ----- ### "good antecedent basis checker" — 3.0/5 > **Younghoon** | *1 June 2021* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the good antecedent basis checker > > **Cons**: I don't like this program slowing down and crashing MS word ----- ### "ClaimMaster Review" — 4.0/5 > **Theodore** | *18 May 2021* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: ClaimMaster does a good job at finding antecedent basis issues in the claims and the specification. I rely on ClaimMaster almost every day to make sure that my claims do not have 112(b) problems that can arise from missing antecedent basis issues. ClaimMaster is an important part of my patent preparation and prosecution practice. I do not believe a work product is complete unless I've checked it with ClaimMaster. > > **Cons**: ClaimMaster is sometimes wrong. Fortunately, it tends to have a lot more false positives than false negatives. (False positive = flags an antecedent basis issue, but it's not; false negative = fails to flag an antecedent basis issue that does exist.) False negatives are quite rare, but they can pop up when the claim terms get complex. False negatives often happen when an adjective is used in front of a claim term (particularly in the specification), or when the claim term gets particularly complex (e.g., more than 2-3 words long). However, I would rather that Claim Master overflag possible issues and let me double check and resolve them. If I had to choose, I would much rather deal with false positives than false negatives. It can sometimes take a while to work, particularly if I have a long application and I ask it to do a full check of the specification and figures. During this time I can't switch windows within Word to work on something else, and that is a bit frustrating. > > Overall, my experience is positive. Claim Master is an important part of my quality assurance process. I will continue to use Claim Master. ----- ### "You're crazy if you don't use a bot like claimmaster" — 5.0/5 > **Richard** | *9 April 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It catches stuff. Running claim sets and application drafts through claimmaster is one of my essential quality checks. > > **Cons**: Defining patent terms can be difficult and often fails. Sometimes I want a string (including spaces) to absolutely be interpreted as a claimed element for antecedent basis checks. I enter it into claimmaster and, if I'm lucky, it works. > > It's been a major factor in improving the quality of my USPTO submissions. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/223426/claimmaster?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/223426/claimmaster) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
