IDS Management

From every reference to a filed-ready IDS

IPPrep Pro pulls the examiner's citations and your foreign references, looks each one up, gets the 37 CFR 1.97 certification right, and hands you a complete IDS package. In one pass.

Bring the references in

  • Reads the examiner's citations straight from a U.S. Office Action (Form 892).
  • Extracts references from foreign Office Actions, with OCR for scanned documents.
  • Imports an Excel list or a whole batch of Office Actions at once.
  • Reads prior filed IDS PDFs to auto-fill the header and flag duplicates, so a reference is never cited twice.
  • Cross-cites a family: pulls another application's full citation history straight from the USPTO.

Looked up and fetched

  • US references via the USPTO and foreign references via the EPO: title, kind code, date, and assignee auto-populate.
  • The reference PDF is fetched and bundled for filing, automatically.
  • Generates English reference-text PDFs for foreign references, and fills in missing abstracts.
  • Non-patent literature auto-fills from a DOI or arXiv ID.

Certified right (37 CFR 1.97)

  • Pick the application status and when the references were known; the advisor recommends the certification and checks the right boxes on the PDF.
  • Keeps the certification consistent with the case's actual timing.
Why it matters: a wrong certification is costly. Filing an IDS after the window without the correct certification or fee can force a Request for Continued Examination (RCE) and its USPTO fee, resetting prosecution. The advisor matches the certification to the case's actual status, so you get it right the first time.

Filed-ready output

  • A complete ZIP: the PTO/SB/08 PDF and the transmittal letter.
  • Plus a foreign-PDFs ZIP and a translations ZIP where applicable.
  • Save and reload your session any time, so nothing is lost when you close the tab.
Why it matters

The mistakes it takes off the table

No duplicate art

Prior filed IDSs are read and duplicates flagged, so the same reference is never cited twice.

No wrong-certification RCE

The 37 CFR 1.97 advisor matches the certification to the case, avoiding an avoidable RCE fee.

Every reference, handled

Imported from the 892 and foreign OAs, looked up, and fetched, not typed one by one.

Hours back

What used to be an afternoon of lookups and retyping becomes a reviewed package in minutes.
