Overview

Features and functions of Otto include:

Comprehensive Patent Law Expertise
Otto™ is designed specifically for patent law practitioners. It understands key elements of patent practice—statutes, regulations, decisions, the MPEP, and best practices—while also supporting general legal writing and reasoning.

Document Summarization and Comparison
Users can obtain swift summaries of patent references and documents, perform direct comparisons, and evaluate office action rejections in the context of pending claims and cited prior art.

Claim Drafting and Analysis
Otto™ assists in formulating and analyzing claims, generating draft claim charts, identifying where claim elements find support in applications, and suggesting amendments or new claims. It also helps craft application titles, abstracts, and summaries.

Strategic Office Action Support
Otto™ provides strategic recommendations for responding to office actions and helps identify unclaimed subject matter that might warrant inclusion.

General Legal Task Support
Beyond patent-specific support, Otto™ can summarize legal concepts, cases, and statutes; assist research on diverse legal topics; draft legal documents like contracts, briefs, and memos; and provide outlines to structure legal arguments.

Natural Language Interaction
Built on advanced natural language processing, Otto™ allows attorneys to interact using conversational prompts—handling complex instructions and legal terminology as a human assistant might.

Session and Workflow Organization
Otto™ organizes work into “Matters” and “Sessions”—a case workspace for drafting and analysis alongside a knowledge sidebar for accessing case files, contacts, notes, and integrated data. Users may invoke “skills” within sessions—either prebuilt chains of prompts or custom smart templates (“Blueprints”)—to handle specific legal tasks. It supports both a Chat Mode for quick queries and a Reasoning Mode for more complex analyses.
