Patent Proofreading
with N-Spec

N-Spec reads specification files and patent drawings files to produce comprehensive patent application proofreading reports, enabling you to catch issues before an Examiner or a client

How N-Spec Works

N-Spec uses a combination of natural-language processing (NLP) and expert knowledge to provide a thorough and quantitative review of patent application quality. Simply select a specification and optionally a drawings file, and get actionable proofreading results in seconds.

What N-Spec Checks

N-Spec checks for common issues in patent applications which may lead to objections or rejections during prosecution. This includes:

  • Checking all claim elements for antecedent basis
  • Quantifying the degree of descriptive support for each claim element
  • Reviewing parts for naming/numbering consistency in the specification and figures
  • Scanning the specification for patent profanities, and
  • Determining if the title, abstract, and figures conform to USPTO requirements

N-Spec evaluates essential aspects of patent application quality, and summarizes all results in an intuitive and interactive dashboard
