We’ll share them periodically here in the newsletter.

In this first installment, PXR can be used to strengthen a draft patent application before filing.

In a typical patent workflow, an invention disclosure is reviewed and a binary decision is made – proceed to patenting and disclose everything, or keep it as a trade secret and disclose nothing. This is an “all or nothing” decision – go down one road or the other.

With PXR, you can make much finer nuanced decisions that were difficult or probably impossible before.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][us_image image=”759″ link=”%7B%22url%22%3A%22%22%7D”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]PXR will analyze the draft application, and identify potential trade secrets. For each potential trade secret, you can decide to: keep it in the application, add or remove description / disclosure, or remove it entirely from the application. In this way, you’re making a bunch of smaller fine-tuning decisions instead of the usual one big “all or nothing” one.

PXR lets you improve your draft patent applications using a “dial” instead of a “switch”.

We are excited about this powerful use case for PXR. Please let us know of any new uses that you can imagine.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
