## Overview

### Key benefits of OttoFlow™

\* Reduces manual re-keying of dates and human touches per office action by converting incoming PTO correspondence, examiner actions, and inbound email into structured docket obligations automatically.
\* Provides full deadline provenance by tracing every calculated date back to its source document, rule, and verifier, supporting audit and error investigation.
\* Eliminates entire categories of docketing error through architectural design: 1,853 procedures, 63 jurisdictional rule sets, holiday calendars, and three-tier client overrides are applied systematically rather than relying on probabilistic methods alone.
\* Supports AI-enabled prosecution workflows, including Notice of Allowance processing, shell creation, and error surveillance within the prosecution console.
\* Accelerates IDS review by using AI to read citation tables from PTO-892 and Form 1449 into structured rows, with optional AI relevance scoring on the IDS review dashboard.
\* Automates citation monitoring via an AI email agent that reads daily USPTO filings, applicant-filed IDSs across family members, IP5 and Global Dossier citation data, and foreign associate emails.
\* Connects docket data to external AI tools through a built-in MCP controller and open APIs, with compatibility for Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot.
\* Gives firms control over AI vendor selection by supporting connection of their own AI model API keys, avoiding lock-in to a single model vendor.
\* Governs AI consumption at the tenant level with per-feature enablement, metering, rate limits, per-user spend controls, and an AI Usage page showing consumption by feature and user.
\* Provides access to USPTO, EPO OPS, WIPO, JPO, KIPO, CNIPA, Global Dossier, and 300+ foreign associates via Honu from a single platform, reducing the need for external data lookups.
\* Supports high-volume workflow management through role-scoped firm dockets, keyboard triage, bulk actions with undo, personal queues, digests, and single-step work reassignment via a Work Delegation page.
\* Delivers portfolio and workload visibility through scheduled data reports, narrative client reports, a merge-document library, and portfolio analytics with AI categorization.
\* Exposes the full record to external systems via a Swagger-documented Agent API, CloudEvents webhooks, and DMS push, supporting integration with existing firm infrastructure.
\* Enforces data security through database-level tenant isolation, MFA, SSO, an append-only audit stream, and encryption in transit and at rest, with AWS hosting, region pinning, and dedicated account boundary options.
\* Licensed as software, so every automated step counts as product functionality rather than a billable service hour, providing predictable cost scaling as portfolio volume grows.

The platform operates on an event-driven architecture: incoming PTO correspondence, examiner actions, agent reports, and inbound email are matched to matters, processed through a versioned rule library, and converted into docket obligations. Coverage spans fifteen matter types and a 17-tab patent record, with every module drawing from the same underlying data set.\n\nThe docketing engine covers 1,853 procedures across 63 jurisdictional rule sets, with holiday calendars and three-tier client overrides. Every calculated date carries its source document, rule, and verifier, providing full provenance for each deadline. The prosecution console includes AI-enabled Notice of Allowance processing, shell creation, and error surveillance. The IDS Manager handles PTO-892, Form 1449, and SB/08 extraction, cross-family propagation, cross-cite pools, and SB/08 generation. USPTO data is accessed via Otto HUB and Patent Center, with additional coverage from Global Dossier, EPO OPS, WIPO, JPO, KIPO, and CNIPA, plus 300+ foreign associates via Honu. Workflow tooling includes role-scoped firm dockets, keyboard triage, bulk actions with undo, personal queues, digests, and a Work Delegation page for single-step reassignment. Reporting spans scheduled data reports, narrative client reports, a full merge-document library, portfolio analytics with AI categorization, and workload analytics.\n\nOttoFlow is hosted on Amazon Web Services with region pinning and dedicated account boundary options for firms with corporate clients that require data residency controls. Tenant isolation is enforced at the database level, with MFA, SSO, and an append-only audit stream. Eleven AI features are each enabled per tenant, metered, and governed by rate limits and per-user spend controls, with an AI Usage page showing consumption by feature and user. Firms may connect their own AI model API keys; the platform is not locked to a single model vendor. A Swagger-documented Agent API, CloudEvents webhooks, and DMS push expose the full record to external systems and AI tools, including Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot via a built-in MCP controller.
