Helpful Information

How does ActionResponder work?

ActionResponder is powered by a large language model specifically trained to assist with trademark office action responses. The platform continuously improves through training on:

  • Argument structures and strategies

  • High-quality trademark data

  • Vetted legal citations

For each matter, ActionResponder retrieves the TSDR file associated with the relevant trademark and analyzes the office action and cited marks. Using this data, it generates a structured response aligned with USPTO best practices—ready for attorney review and finalization.

Are the legal citations accurate?

ActionResponder is trained on a growing, regularly updated library of legal citations pre-vetted by trademark lawyers. The platform:

  • Pulls directly from approved case law and displays the citations exactly as vetted for accuracy

  • Does not create or fabricate citations

Note: While we strive for the highest level of accuracy, ActionResponder is a drafting tool, not legal advice. All attorneys should review, verify, and refine responses before submission.

Why should I save time on office action responses? I bill by the hour.

Saving time doesn’t mean earning less—it means maximizing your efficiency and profitability.

Consider a flat fee model:

  • Offer flat-fee office action responses—if you normally take 4-6 hours to draft a response but complete it in under an hour with ActionResponder, you increase your effective hourly rate.

Package office action responses with your filings:

  • Many clients don’t expect refusals and hesitate to pay for responses later. Offer a bundled package upfront that includes office action responses, creating predictable revenue while keeping costs manageable for your clients.

Can ActionResponder be used by non-attorneys?

ActionResponder is designed exclusively for trademark professionals.

Why? Responding to a trademark office action requires legal knowledge, argument strategy, and interpretation of USPTO guidelines. ActionResponder assists attorneys in streamlining the drafting process, but it does not replace legal judgment.

We strongly encourage all applicants to work with an experienced trademark attorney to ensure their response is properly crafted and submitted.

I don’t get enough office actions to justify this tool.

Even if you only receive a few substantive office actions per year, ActionResponder offers flexible membership options to fit your needs:

  • Light Membership – Ideal for small dockets, allowing up to six responses per year at an affordable rate ($490 yr).

  • Unlimited Membership – Designed for firms handling high-volume trademark matters, with unlimited responses ($890 yr).

  • Single-Use Option – Perfect if you only need one response per year ($272 each). If you anticipate more, the Light Membership offers better value.

Whether you handle just a handful of office actions or dozens each year, there’s a plan that makes sense for your practice.
