Patent review dashboard
Nine in ten applications get rejected on their first application
Most of them for preventable rule violations. Pincite catches each one in your draft, pins it to the real MPEP and CFR text, and compares your claims against granted patents before you file.
We only ever tell you three things
1. A molded fiber container suitable for containing a food item … 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the base and the lid are integrally formed from a single piece of molded fiber connected by a hinge. 3. The container of claim 1, wherein the plurality of ridges are arranged substantially concentrically about a center of the base. 4. The container of claim 6!, wherein the plurality of openings comprise a plurality of slots.
Claim 4 depends on claim 6, which does not exist
There is no claim 6 in the application, so claim 4 has nothing to build on and its scope is left undefined.
The same rule, at three levels
The statute that sets the requirement.
The regulation that makes it concrete.
The guidebook for how to abide by the rule and the law.
The stake
Rejection is the default
The average application waits two years and picks up at least one rejection on the way. Most trace back to rules a careful review would have caught.
applications filed a year at the USPTO
allowed on the first office action
months, on average, to a first decision
Where rejections come from
Your claims are checked one limitation at a time, including where two earlier patents only cover a claim together.
What Pincite points out
Neither patent covers your claim alone, but together they may make it obvious if there is a reason to combine them.
We compare your claims to earlier patents.
Grounds overlap, so shares do not add up. Source USPTO reporting.
How it works
Draft to filing in five steps
Write, and Pincite handles the rest.
1. A molded fiber container suitable for containing a food item …
2. The container of claim 1, wherein the base and the lid are integrally formed from a single piece of molded fiber connected by a hinge.
3. The container of claim 1, wherein the plurality of ridges are arranged substantially concentrically about a center of the base.Features
Every step to filing, in one dashboard
Flagged right on the claim
Every rule violation is caught on the claim text and pinned to the exact rule behind it.

Matched by meaning, not just words
Overlaps are found by the idea underneath your wording, even when two earlier patents only cover a claim together.
With a reason to combine them, the claim may be obvious under 35 U.S.C. 103
Every overlap is itemized so you can weigh it yourself.
Numerals matched to the text
A numeral on a figure that never appears in the text is caught before an examiner sees it.
