📝 Response to Office Action Services
Received an Office Action from the Patent Office? Don’t worry—IIPT Solutions helps inventors, startups, and companies respond effectively to Office Actions from the USPTO, EPO, or India Patent Office to keep your patent application moving forward.
We provide technical, legal, and strategic drafting of replies to maximize your chances of approval and minimize unnecessary delays or rejections.
❓ What Is an Office Action?
An Office Action is an official communication from the Patent Examiner, highlighting issues with your patent application. It may include:
- Rejections under lack of novelty (Section 102 / 13(1)(b))
- Obviousness concerns (Section 103 / 2(1)(j))
- Specification or drawing objections
- Formalities or formatting errors
- Subject matter eligibility concerns (Section 101 / 3(k))
Office Actions are common—and how you respond is crucial.
🔍 Types of Office Actions We Handle
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Non-Final Office Action | Initial objections or rejections. You can amend claims and argue. |
| Final Office Action | Follows a non-final. Limited opportunity to amend. Strong legal arguments needed. |
