ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — BACK OFFICE

Every response starts from your best arguments.

Office-action responses, IDS preparation, claim charts, portfolio summaries: prosecution is document work with career-ending deadlines. The Zanus back office drafts it from your own file wrappers and winning arguments, cited — and every shell waits for the practitioner’s judgment.

AI work session mapping an office action against cited art

A real session: office action mapped — rejections tabled, cited art summarized, response shell drafted, practitioner decides.

What it does

Office actions, mapped in minutes

The AI reads the action, tables each rejection against the cited art, pulls how YOUR practice answered similar rejections before, and shells the response — the practitioner argues from strength, not from blank paper.

IDS discipline, kept

References cross-checked against what was already cited in the family, new art from related prosecutions flagged — the cross-check nobody enjoys, done before it is overdue.

Portfolio intelligence on demand

Claim coverage summaries, family trees, expiration outlooks and inventor histories assembled from your own records — in your templates, ready for the client meeting.

The prior-art sweep that starts at home

Before the new claims go out, the AI sweeps your own specifications, claims and cited art for the mechanism — the embarrassing collision with your own earlier filing is caught in-house, in minutes, with the documents attached.

Plain-language search across decades of your filings
Claims-language-aware matching, results cited to the file
Findings memo drafted for practitioner review

Prior-art sweep work tracked and prioritized

Patent drawings analyzed alongside specifications

Drawings and figures, read at full resolution

Figures, flowcharts and technical drawings are ingested alongside the text — ask which filings show a particular assembly and the answer comes back with the figure references, not just the abstract.

Ultra-high-resolution figure and drawing analysis
Figures linked to their specifications and claims
Any format: PDFs, scans, legacy file wrappers

IP practice software is a stack of per-seat subscriptions — docketing here, search there, drafting tools in a third login — while unfiled invention disclosures sit in inboxes and every office action starts from a blank page. Zanus AI: the whole practice’s filing history, prior art and prosecution knowledge in one system — unlimited users, confidentiality-conscious by architecture, in your private tenant or on a server you own.

Questions, answered

Does it replace commercial prior-art search databases?

No — it makes YOUR archive searchable first: your filings, your cited art, your saved search results. External search platforms remain the practitioner’s tools; their outputs can be loaded into the libraries too.

Who signs the response?

The registered practitioner, always. The AI shells, tables and cites; the attorney or agent argues, edits, signs and files. The review queue is structural.

The Back Office executes. Who answers the phone?

Front Office AI picks up every call and chat — books, quotes, follows up, 24/7 in 40 languages. Watch it run a business like yours, live.
