Field notes
The homepage describes a pipeline that extracts §102 anticipation rejections from published office actions, matches cited patents against USPTO assignment and file records, and sends alerts to owners or attorneys. A paid report is listed at $100 and includes application identifiers, applicant and attorney details, verbatim rejection text, status and response-window estimates, and source links. The page stresses that a citation is not evidence of infringement and directs readers to patent counsel for legal significance.
