Security and ground rules

What MarkSense reads, writes, and keeps.

Written for the attorney who has to approve a new tool. Everything here is true of the pilot today.

What MarkSense reads

A serial number is all MarkSense needs. From it, MarkSense reads the public USPTO record: the office action, the file history, the federal register, and past refusals and responses in the USPTO prosecution record. Register data comes from USPTO bulk files through September 25, 2026; status of record can lag the USPTO, so confirm it in TSDR.

How a draft is made

A language model drafts the response from the documents MarkSense retrieves. Each authority and register fact in the draft links to the document it came from. Drafts are machine-generated and may contain errors, and no lawyer at MarkSense reviews them; you do.

Ground rules for the pilot

  • Attorneys only. We ask for your bar admission and check it before sending a draft.
  • Serial number and deadline only. The pilot terms are not yet written; you will have them before you share anything else. They will state how drafts and materials are stored and processed, and whether any model provider keeps or trains on them.
  • Client consent. Even a public serial number tells MarkSense which application you handle, so consider whether your client’s consent is needed.
  • Your review. Drafts are free and written by a language model; no lawyer at MarkSense reviews them. Verify every citation, outcome, and statement against its linked source, confirm each registration’s current status in TSDR, and confirm each authority is current and controlling.
  • Section 2(d) only. The pilot drafts the response to the Section 2(d) likelihood-of-confusion refusal; your response must still address everything else the office action raises.
  • No turnaround. None is promised, so keep your deadline on your docket. You sign and file; MarkSense files nothing.
  • Errors. Found a citation that does not match its source? Write to contact@marksense.law.

What MarkSense is not

MarkSense is software for licensed attorneys. It is not a law firm, does not give legal advice, and does not file anything with the USPTO. Using it creates no attorney-client relationship.

The contact form

The form on the contact page sends what you type to a small Cloudflare Worker, which checks it with Cloudflare Turnstile and emails it to contact@marksense.law through Resend. MarkSense does not store form submissions; the copy that matters is the email in our mailbox. Send only a serial number and its deadline, never client documents.
