Increase Drafting Efficiency
Patent Checker monitors your Word document as you edit and identifies potential clarity errors specific to the patent drafting process. See it in action
With Patent Checker, you can easily maintain consistency in your reference numerals throughout the drafting process. Use an inconsistent term with a reference numeral already associated with another term, and your error is identified immediately. This form of enforcement as you work reinforces consistent drafting practice, helping to avoid rework and time spent at the end to check and fix consistency errors.
Avoid Simple Mistakes
We all aspire to comply with antecedent basis, sequential numbering, and punctuation. But often times, the editing process and time constraints result in simple mistakes. AIP PatentChecker identifies these errors as they occur to make them easy to fix and to avoid additional proofing efforts.

Additional Features
Underline-based interface for errors
Underlines similar to existing spellcheck capabilities are provided for a variety of stylistic errors, including antecedent errors as shown above.

Patent Checker dynamically updates a list of terms associated with reference numbers, as well as terms in the claims and specification, and provides search capabilities for the lists to enable quick recall for term usage.
Adaptive renaming
