Office Action Response Agent

Office actions come with strict deadlines, and a response that misses one rejection or objection can lead to abandonment. When an office action arrives, this agent reads it and lists every rejection and objection with the claims and references cited. It calculates the deadline and extension options. It reads the cited references, charts them against the rejected claims and finds features not disclosed. It drafts argument outlines and amendment options, using only amendments supported by the description. It then checks that every rejection and objection is addressed in the draft. If not, it adds the missing part and checks again. Deadlines within 30 days come first. The patent agent decides strategy and signs. Edge case: the examiner combines three references, so the agent checks the stated reason to combine.
