As an innovative firm, McCoy Russell’s software arm (Ironcrow) blends technology and law developing state of the art machine learning algorithms to make patent prosecution smarter. IronCrow exists to bring modern advancements in machine learning (ML) to patent professionals in the form of time saving tools and insightful analytics.
McCoy Russell leverages Ironcrow’s OA-Shell to automate the tedious task of generating a first draft Office Action response, and allows patent professionals to spend more time crafting the substantive arguments and amendments which ultimately determine the prosecution outcome.
OA-Shell works by:
- Extracting and intelligently reformatting all allowances, objections, and rejections present in the Office Action
- Generating a clean version of the claims ready for amendments
- Adding appropriate status indicators to the claims
- Identifying all cover page info, including inventor, filing date, OA date, etc., and
- Filling out a customizable OA response template with all content described above

We further file 99% of responses to the USPTO on time without an extension due to our firm’s delay.
