A perfect ten. It's a useful tool and I like to have it handy while I work on Microsoft Word. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I like that the tool is installed on my PC and is compatible with MS Word, so I don't have to log in all the time and worry about being spied on my activities. I've used CM for more than ten years, and my favorite feature is checking that the claims are correct. I also like the claim summary for responses to Office Action. #### Cons Nothing in particular that I like least about CM --- ### ClaimMaster Review - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Theodore F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: May 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall, my experience is positive. Claim Master is an important part of my quality assurance process. I will continue to use Claim Master. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros ClaimMaster does a good job at finding antecedent basis issues in the claims and the specification. I rely on ClaimMaster almost every day to make sure that my claims do not have 112(b) problems that can arise from missing antecedent basis issues. ClaimMaster is an important part of my patent preparation and prosecution practice. I do not believe a work product is complete unless I've checked it with ClaimMaster. #### Cons ClaimMaster is sometimes wrong. Fortunately, it tends to have a lot more false positives than false negatives. (False positive = flags an antecedent basis issue, but it's not; false negative = fails to flag an antecedent basis issue that does exist.) False negatives are quite rare, but they can pop up when the claim terms get complex. False negatives often happen when an adjective is used in front of a claim term (particularly in the specification), or when the claim term gets particularly complex (e.g., more than 2-3 words long). However, I would rather that Claim Master overflag possible issues and let me double check and resolve them. If I had to choose, I would much rather deal with false positives than false negatives. It can sometimes take a while to work, particularly if I have a long application and I ask it to do a full check of the specification and figures. During this time I can't switch windows within Word to work on something else, and that is a bit frustrating. #### Reasons for choosing ClaimMaster N/A --- ### good antecedent basis checker - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Younghoon K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I like the good antecedent basis checker #### Cons I don't like this program slowing down and crashing MS word --- ### Great productivity software for patent attorneys - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jack A. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Great value. They keep the product updated with the machinations of the USPTO patentcenter site. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The value proposition is strong as this product does a great many functions. From IDS generation to claim proofing, it does it all. #### Cons The user interface can be a bit complicated at times. --- ### An indispensable tool - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Sam C. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. As noted, this is an indispensable tool in preparing applications and responses for us. There is little more I can add to that (or need to, honestly). #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Installation of this product is effortless. The product works quite well and is easy to use. Constantly being improved. Customer service is second-to-none - I wish all our IT projects were as well-supported and effective. I use this product constantly, and find that I can prepare applications and claims in a MUCH more efficient and affective manner when my process includes ClaimMaster. Further, not having to allow remote access to any of our documents is an absolute necessity. Its standalone nature is critical, as we have clients that forbid the use of any software that employs remote access and/or sending files over the Internet. #### Cons The only complaint I can think of is that certain phrasings confuse the software. It may be possible to use natural language processing/machine learning to address this shortcoming, but again, it would need to be implemented as a standalone system, for our purposes. --- ### Essential Tool for Patent Prosecutor - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: DAVID V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Overall Claimmaster has provided itself to be an important tool for patent prosecution, especially claim review and IDS prepartion. There are many other helpful features. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The product makes claim review and updating in amendments and the original application a much easier task. The product does a great job of catching antecedent basis and claim numbering type of mistakes to supplement the practitioner review. The IDS tool to fill out IDSs with the patent publications has been a big time saver for staff. There are numerous other helpful features, such as checking the specification for reference number consistency. #### Cons Would be helpful to be able to add non-patent literatore to the IDS as part of the auto-fill feature. Would be great if there would be a way to manage cross referencing references in IDSs between related cases and autofill IDSs when references are added to one case. --- ### Powerful, easy to use software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: David S. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very good experience, for the cost and performance it is great. And I can’t stress enough how good customer support is! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Automation of tasks, connecting and graphing patent families, amazing customer support #### Cons Petty maybe, but having to click on an empty field for entry instead of having the software accept typing automatically. --- ### An essential tool for practicing patent attorneys - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Steve Z. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Law Practice - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have used ClaimMaster since it was first introduced. My experience has consistently been good, to the point where I would literally not want to write a patent without it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros ClaimMaster has many functions, but the part I like most is claim analysis. Claims are arguably the most important part of a patent. However, to be valid, the claims must follow many legal and logical rules - so much so that they are almost like short chunks of high-level computer code. As a result, it is all too easy to accidentally introduce errors. ClaimMaster quickly and easily scans claims and detects and highlights many of the most common patent claim construction errors. I find it to be an essential tool for my practice. #### Cons I have generally found the software to be easy to use, and have no complaints. --- ### Great Product and Great Pricing - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: James H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The features are difficult to match in other products costing twice as much. It works well, and they add new features to keep it competitive. #### Cons I don't really have any cons, although I look forward to more AI functionality cover time. #### Reasons for switching to ClaimMaster ClaimMaster had better features for a better price --- ### You're crazy if you don't use a bot like claimmaster - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Richard K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: April 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered It's been a major factor in improving the quality of my USPTO submissions. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros It catches stuff. Running claim sets and application drafts through claimmaster is one of my essential quality checks. #### Cons Defining patent terms can be difficult and often fails. Sometimes I want a string (including spaces) to absolutely be interpreted as a claimed element for antecedent basis checks. I enter it into claimmaster and, if I'm lucky, it works. --- Showing 1 - 10 of 46 Reviews [See All Reviews](https://www.softwareadvice.com/legal/claimmaster-profile/reviews/) ## See what companies are saying about Software Advice
