abigail - AI Patent Office Action Response Generator

Q: How is ABIGAIL different from using ChatGPT for patent work?

ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI that cannot parse Office Action PDFs, verify citations against prior art, or produce 37 CFR compliant exports. ABIGAIL has 11 specialized LLM experts fine-tuned on patent prosecution documents, structured claim-by-claim analysis pipelines, and anti-hallucination architecture that drops unverifiable outputs.

Q: How much does ABIGAIL cost?

ABIGAIL uses pay-per-use task-based pricing at $49 per Office Action response export. No monthly subscription. Credit packages from $25 to $2,000 with volume bonuses. New users receive $25 in free credits. No credit card required to start.

Q: Is it safe to use AI for Office Action responses?

With the right tool, yes. ABIGAIL uses Glass Box transparency where every AI output is verified against source documents before presentation. Unverifiable claims are dropped, not shown. The attorney always has final review. ABIGAIL is SOC 2 Type II compliant and never uses client data for AI training.

Q: What types of patent rejections does ABIGAIL handle?

All major types: 35 USC 101 (patent eligibility/Alice), 102 (anticipation), 103 (obviousness), 112 (written description and indefiniteness), double patenting, drawing objections, restriction requirements, and new matter objections. Each rejection type has a dedicated AI expert.

Q: Is ABIGAIL suitable for solo practitioners or only large firms?

ABIGAIL is designed for practitioners of all sizes. Solo attorneys use it to handle more cases without hiring. Boutique firms use it to compete with BigLaw on speed. In-house teams use it to reduce outside counsel spend. Pay-per-use pricing means you only pay when you use it.

Q: How much does ABIGAIL cost per Office Action response?

New users receive $25 in free credits to try the platform on a real Office Action. Volume credit purchases include bonuses: $100 gets you $110 in credits, $500 gets $575, and $2,000 gets $2,400.

Q: Can ABIGAIL handle 35 USC 103 obviousness rejections?

Yes. ABIGAIL has a dedicated 103 Obviousness AI expert trained on thousands of real prosecution documents and PTAB decisions. It performs element-by-element prior art mapping, identifies missing limitations in examiner citations, analyzes motivation-to-combine arguments, surfaces teaching away evidence, and drafts claim-by-claim amendments with specification support verification to prevent new matter. The Prior Art Comparator shows side-by-side views of examiner-cited passages against your claim elements.

Q: Can ABIGAIL handle 35 USC 101 Alice rejections?

Yes. ABIGAIL has a dedicated 101 Eligibility AI expert that applies the Alice/Mayo two-step framework. Step 2A Prong One identifies whether claims are directed to an abstract idea, law of nature, or natural phenomenon. Step 2A Prong Two evaluates whether the claim integrates the judicial exception into a practical application. Step 2B assesses whether remaining elements provide an inventive concept. The expert generates arguments citing relevant Federal Circuit precedent and PTAB decisions.
