Aurora North’s PAIRLink

Problem Statement:
Keeping up with Patent Application Information Retrieval (PAIR) is manual, time consuming, prone to errors and omissions, and expensive.

AURORA NORTH SOLUTION:
PairLink is Aurora North’s proprietary streaming software developed at the request of our Intellectual Property (IP) law clients.  PairLink automates Private patent and information document retrieval from the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  By using technology and automation PairLink will:
  1. Reduce risk
  2. Decrease direct and indirect costs
  3. Increase efficiency
  4. Improve document and information accuracy

KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES:

Benefit Detail
The automation of Patent Document Retrieval in a timely fashion, with redundancies to catch human error, and accuracy, is the key to streamlining retrieval of USPTO documents.  Desired outcomes are: reduced document delay; reduced paper processing; reallocation of resources from manual download processes; increased accuracy; lowered risk; and streamlined admin department operations.
  1. Reduce Document Delay - documents are received same day as PTO Private Pair Posting.
  2. Reduce Paper Processing - documents are routed to firm legal and administrative personnel as soon as they are received.
  3. Reallocate Resources – remove manual download processes and routing / notification.
  4. Increase Accuracy - with constant coding and naming standard documents are consistently coded and placed in the correct location.
  5. Lower Risk - Implement Firm Wide Exception Policies – if documents are downloaded and matters are not found due to inaccurate data, standard electronic policies can identify, notify and correct.
  6. Streamline admin department operations – set the table for electronic mail logs, lightning fast client reporting and other core procedures.
