Everything you need to know.

Amendment Inbox is a patent prosecution drafting service operated by WhitServe LLC. We use public USPTO records to prepare attorney-reviewable Office Action response drafts, typically by the next business day.

Our system checks for newly issued Office Actions, retrieves public case materials from the USPTO, and prepares a draft amendment and Reviewer Reference Guide for attorney review.

Each package includes two documents. First, an attorney-reviewable Draft Amendment in Word format with proposed claim amendments and remarks. Second, a Reviewer Reference Guide with a case snapshot, rejection analysis, proposed strategies, and items flagged for attorney attention.

Our system checks for new Office Actions each evening. When one is detected, the drafting pipeline begins immediately. Drafts are typically available by the next business day. While next-business-day delivery is the normal scenario, occasional delays may occur due to technical or processing factors.

No. The system retrieves everything it needs directly from the USPTO. There is nothing to upload and nothing to initiate. The entire process is proactive. The draft is generated automatically when an Office Action is issued on a case in our pipeline.

Amendment Inbox covers both Non-Final and Final Office Actions. The system handles rejections under 35 U.S.C. §101 (Alice/Mayo), §102 (anticipation), §103 (obviousness), and §112 (indefiniteness and written description). Restriction Requirements are not covered. They require minimal drafting effort.

Currently mechanical and software patent applications. Biotech and chemical areas are under consideration. Contact us to discuss cases outside the current scope.

Yes. Amendment Inbox currently covers U.S. utility patent applications before the USPTO only.

Amendment Inbox drafts the Office Action response. The amendment and remarks. If you decide to file that response concurrently with an RCE, that is your decision as the attorney of record. Amendment Inbox does not prepare the RCE petition itself.

There are no subscriptions or monthly fees. The fixed use fee is based on Office Action complexity: Standard ($791), Advanced ($1,195), and Complex ($1,394). Introductory fees apply to the first draft you use, adapt, or file: Standard ($494), Advanced ($899), Complex ($1,097). The applicable use fee is disclosed before use.

Yes. You may receive and review the complete draft package for free. No payment is owed merely for receiving or reviewing it. The fixed use fee applies only if you use, adapt, or file any portion of the draft.

The introductory fee applies to the first draft you use, adapt, or file. After that first paid use, standard pricing applies.

We assess the tier based on the Office Action itself, including the type and number of rejections, claim count, and prior art references. The applicable use fee is disclosed before use. If you believe a case has been miscategorized, contact us.

No problem. If you do not use, adapt, or file any portion of the draft, no use fee is owed.

Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. If a draft contains serious deficiencies, we will honor a refund. However, because all drafts are intended for attorney review and editing before filing, we do not offer refunds based on differences in professional judgment or preferred approach. The attorney who uses a draft is responsible for verifying its contents before filing.

No. Amendment Inbox works exclusively with publicly available USPTO data. All Office Actions, patent applications, cited prior art, claims, and bibliographic information used in the drafting process are public records obtained directly from the USPTO. We never require access to your docketing system, work product, or privileged communications.

Attorney name, firm name, and correspondence address are part of the public patent record maintained by the USPTO. This information is used solely to identify the attorney of record and deliver the draft package.

No. Amendment Inbox is not the USPTO, and WhitServe LLC is not a law firm or attorney of record. Amendment Inbox does not represent the applicant or file documents. Delivery does not create an attorney-client relationship. The receiving attorney must review, revise, verify, and exercise independent filing judgment.

Yes. Every draft is intended as a starting point for professional review. The attorney who receives or uses a draft is fully responsible for verifying the validity and accuracy of its contents, including arguments, citations, references, and claim amendments. Nothing should be assumed correct without independent review.
