Patent Bots introduced Sprocket, an AI drafting assistant inside its Microsoft Word add in for patent applications and office action responses. Sprocket works step by step rather than producing a whole application at once, carries the attorney's corrections forward to later steps, and accepts disclosures, call transcripts, figures and prior art. It inserts claim amendments with strikethrough and underline formatting.
Buyer relevance. Step by step drafting keeps the attorney deciding at each stage, which suits practitioners wary of a full application generated in one pass. Amendments already in marked up form save a formatting chore on every response.
