Built a synthetic 4-document filing package (spec, drawings, ADS, declaration with a deliberately undefined claim term) and ran the real script end-to-end: it produced a 30KB HTML report correctly classifying every file by content and catching a genuine definitional gap ('extends radially' used in a claim but never defined in the description) that a quick unaided read would likely miss. The bundled 121-test regression suite also passed live, 121/121.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Patent Filing QC does

Quality-checks a folder of U.S. patent filing documents (specification, drawings, ADS, declaration, assignment, power of attorney) for cross-document inconsistencies, missing fields, and USPTO formatting compliance before submission. Classifies files by content rather than filename, extracts the official XFA ADS form directly, and outputs one self-contained HTML report. Triggers on requests to QC, validate, or review a patent filing package.
