• Platform adapts to USPTO 2025 rule changes on pre‑approved terms.

Summary

PageVault’s new product Stencil is a trademark‑focused operating platform that builds on the company’s existing web‑capture technology. Co‑CEO Alex explains that the tool was born from client demand for a more efficient way to draft goods‑and‑services descriptions and collect use specimens, areas where traditional PageVault usage was limited.

Stencil leverages generative AI to map client business information to the USPTO’s 2025 pre‑approved term list, automating the most labor‑intensive parts of trademark prosecution. It also crawls client websites to harvest screenshots and metadata for legally defensible specimens, delivering a draft ID and fee estimate within minutes.

During the demo, the team showed a mock filing for ‘Husky Technologies,’ where the system identified four relevant classes, suggested descriptions, and pulled potential specimens from the company’s site. Users can fine‑tune AI suggestions via check‑boxes or the integrated ID manual, ensuring human oversight remains the final gate.

By cutting drafting time and specimen gathering from hours to minutes, Stencil promises higher margins for fixed‑fee trademark practices and aligns firms with the USPTO’s move toward AI‑driven examination. The platform’s niche focus differentiates it from generic AI tools, positioning it as a strategic efficiency driver in IP law.
