Rowan Proofreading with analytics is an online tool that utilizes various algorithms and predictive analytics to automatically analyze draft patent applications for novelty, patentability, antecedent basis, claim support, term consistency, and more. It reduces the amount of time it takes for patent professionals to review a patent application and helps avoid human error.

Proofreading generates two reports:

Predictive Analytics to inform strategy and set expectations

Automatic Application Review provides in-document (MS Word) reviews for possible issues:

Typically, a near-final draft of a patent application is sent out for review by paralegals, managing partners, review committees, or other members of the patent team. It’s smart to get multiple sets of eyes reviewing a draft application. The problem is that this manual review can take several days and can inadvertently introduce errors.

Proofreading uses expert “reviewer bots” specifically tuned for patent practice to reveal and comment on very complex issues in patent claims. Rowan Proofreading provides comments nearly instantly and at a much lower cost. 

Proofreading can review draft patent applications, Office Action responses, and even existing US patents or publications.

When developing Rowan Proofreading we wanted to create the most secure web-based patent review environment possible. That’s why Rowan does not store anything processed through Rowan Proofreading on our servers, nor do we store any of the results.

Information is encrypted in transit, processed, and the data is delivered back to the browser where the results are displayed.

In order to use Rowan Proofreading with analytics, you need to have a Rowan Patents account. Rowan has assigned your company a private organization domain—e.g. [firm name].turbopatent.us. The firm name is typically the same as your email domain: between the @ and the .com. 

If you did not receive log-in credentials, please contact your organization’s Rowan administrator or email us at info@rowantels.com.

Navigate to your company's link using your Chrome browser:

[firm domain].turbopatent.us/proofreading/
​
​ Note: the "firm domain" is typically the same as your email domain — between the @ and the .com

Log in using your credentials when prompted.

This will launch the Rowan analytics web app and you are now ready to upload or drag and drop your draft application or Office Action response for review.

Rowan Proofreading is a cross-platform web application that does not require any additional software or plugins. There is nothing to download. However, you must access Proofreading with the Google Chrome browser. Other browsers such as Firefox, Safari, and Edge are not supported at this time.

Rowan Proofreading analyzes draft applications and Office Action responses that are in the Microsoft Word document format (.docx). For existing patents or publications, you simply provide the document number.
