OA-Shell acts like a paralegal, handling all the mechanical intake work so you can focus on substantive analysis and client communication. Respond to more OAs without hiring additional staff.
Standardize your OA response process across all attorneys. Ensure consistent quality and formatting while dramatically reducing the time junior associates spend on intake tasks.
Small dedicated OA processing teams can do the work of much larger teams. Process hundreds of OAs per month with the same headcount, maintaining quality and consistency.
What takes hours of manual work takes OA-Shell seconds. Multiply those savings across dozens or hundreds of OAs per year, and the time savings become transformative for your practice.
In a fixed-fee world, efficiency equals profitability. Spend your billable hours on high-value work that requires your expertise, not mechanical tasks that a computer can do better.
Automated extraction means no more missed rejections, forgotten claims, or overlooked prior art. OA-Shell catches everything, every time.
The interactive dashboard gives you immediate insight into the OA's complexity and strategy. Understand the big picture before diving into details.
