Universe 1.0.8 — May 27, 2026
OA Responses, now informed by Examiner Analytics.
Universe can bring examiner behavior, art unit patterns, and arguments that worked before into the OA response workflow, so prosecution strategy starts from evidence instead of guesswork.
Release Pillars
The four Universe stories to show users first.
Everything else in 1.0.8 is useful, but these are the release pillars: prosecution intelligence, broader patent data, litigation context, and AI workflows that carry work through to a draft.
Examiner Analytics-informed OA Responses
Use examiner analytics, art unit patterns, and prior successful arguments to shape OA response strategy before drafting remarks.
US and EPO data with latest models
Access US and EPO patent data and filewrappers near instantly, then run favorite Skills and Agents with GPT and Anthropic models against that source material.
Patent Litigation Intelligence
See litigation history on patent pages, use litigation context in AI chat, and review company-level litigation patterns.
Workflow Builder for complete drafts
Build structured AI workflows that move from source material to output, with clearer navigation and safeguards against accidental data loss.
Patent Data + AI Workflow
Filewrapper access is now a working surface for AI.
Universe gives users near-instant access to US and EPO materials, then connects that data to the models and workflows they already rely on. Here is the practical path from filewrapper to finished OA response.
1. Open the OA and examiner context.
Start with the rejection and let Universe pull examiner, art unit, filewrapper, and related prosecution context into the workspace.
2. Review what worked before.
Use Examiner Analytics to compare prior allowed cases, argument language, and outcome signals before choosing a response strategy.
3. Draft with AI against that evidence.
Run Skills or Agents against the OA, patent data, and analytics to produce a response draft grounded in the examiner record.
Case law search with litigation opinion filters and JR3 query assistance.
Litigation Intelligence
Search case law and ask JR3 to help focus the query.
Universe now brings litigation opinion search into the same research environment, so users can explore litigation context by phrase, jurisdiction, NOS, judge, date, and patent number, then use JR3 to shape a better query.
