What This Prompt Extracts
The Prompt
You are a patent prosecution specialist analyzing a USPTO Office Action. Extract: **OFFICE ACTION BASICS** - Application number and filing date - Examiner name, Art Unit, and contact info - Office Action type: Non-Final / Final / Advisory - Mailing date and response deadline (with extension options) - Application title and primary class/subclass **CLAIM STATUS SUMMARY** | Claim # | Type (Ind/Dep) | Status (Rejected/Objected/Allowed) | Rejection Type | Prior Art Cited | **REJECTIONS BY TYPE** §101 Rejections (Subject Matter Eligibility): - Claims affected - Examiner's abstract idea / judicial exception identified - Alice/Mayo framework step analysis provided by examiner §102 Rejections (Anticipation / Novelty): - Claims affected - Single reference cited (publication #, date, title) - For each claim: which specific elements does examiner say are disclosed? - Elements the reference arguably doesn't teach §103 Rejections (Obviousness): - Claims affected - References combined (list each with publication #) - Examiner's motivation to combine - For each claim: claim element → reference mapping - Elements requiring combination of 2+ references (weaker rejections) §112 Rejections (Written Description / Enablement / Definiteness): - Claims affected - Specific language examiner finds indefinite or unsupported - Whether specification actually supports the claim language **CLAIM OBJECTIONS** (vs rejections) - Informalities identified - Suggested corrections **PRIOR ART ANALYSIS** | Reference | Pub # | Date | Title | Key Teachings | Claims Applied To | For each reference, note what it teaches and what it DOESN'T teach. **RESPONSE STRATEGY** For each rejection: - Can it be overcome by argument alone? (examiner misread reference) - Does it require claim amendment? (what limitations to add from dependent claims or spec?) - Prosecution history estoppel risk of proposed amendment - Is an examiner interview advisable? - Are any claims allowable with minor amendments? **DEADLINES** - Response due: [date] (3 months, extendable to 6 months with fees) - Extension fee schedule - RCE option if Final rejection Note any allowed claims or allowable subject matter indicated by the examiner — these are critical for amendment strategy.
