An Office Action Response is a formal reply to an examiner's objections or rejections regarding a patent application. It addresses specific issues raised by the patent office, such as claims' clarity, novelty, and non-obviousness. In the response, an applicant may amend claims, present arguments, or submit additional evidence to persuade the examiner of the patent's merits. Effective responses are crucial for advancing the application toward eventual approval.
A patent Office Action is a document written by the patent examiner to summarize the examiner’s review of your patent application. In particular, the Office Action will include a determination of whether your patent claims are allowable. In the vast majority of cases, the first Office Action in a utility patent application will contain claim rejections.
