SOLUTION

Continuation Recommendations

Stop filing continuations blindly. AI identifies open family members, targets claims to specific competitor products, and alerts you before issue fee deadlines close your window.

CHALLENGES

Common Challenges

Missed continuation windows

Issue fee deadlines pass without anyone evaluating whether a continuation is worth filing. By the time you realize the opportunity, the window has closed permanently.

Untargeted continuation claims

Continuations are filed with generic claims that do not map to any specific competitor product, reducing their licensing and enforcement value.

No visibility into open families

Tracking which patent families still have open continuation rights requires cross-referencing docketing data, prosecution histories, and fee deadlines across hundreds of cases.

Specification gaps unknown

Without mapping your specification against current market products, you do not know which valuable claim scope remains available but unclaimed.
