Office Action exhibits · Professional and Max
Add the evidence your response relies on: USPTO registrations by number, web pages by address, your own PDFs and screenshots. GleanMark puts your cover page on each one, letters them in order, and hands you one PDF per exhibit to upload, plus the exhibit index and the evidence description the USPTO form asks for.
Included with Professional ($249 a seat a month) and Max, and in the 7-day Professional trial.
Turn USPTO records, website captures, dictionary definitions and your own files into labeled exhibits with cover pages, then download them in one zip.

Add the evidence
Use any mix. Each piece of evidence gets the next letter, in the order you add it, and all of it lives on one page for the response: Exhibits for your response.
Type or paste registration or serial numbers. GleanMark gets the official USPTO record (status copy) for each one and keeps it exactly as the USPTO sent it, with the date the USPTO made that copy.
Need USPTO documents for a whole list of marks? Official USPTO copies
Paste its address. GleanMark captures the whole page and prints the address, with the date and time of the capture, in a line above the page, never over it. Sites like Instagram show a sign-in page instead; capture those yourself.
Drop or choose PDFs, or images as PNG or JPG: a dictionary entry, a page you saved, anything your response points to.
Press Ctrl+V (Command+V on a Mac) anywhere on the page. The screenshot becomes the next exhibit, and GleanMark asks where the page came from.
For a web page, the USPTO needs its full web address and the date it was captured. GleanMark reads both from your file when they are printed on it, and asks you when they aren’t. It never guesses a date.
Open the Exhibits page from the Office Action’s own page in GleanMark, or start from a serial number. Add to exhibits also sends marks from a TESS search step, a table Markus made for you, or your GleanMark draft’s evidence. When more than one mark arrives, you choose which to cite first: pending applications, dead marks and ones you removed before come unticked, with the reason in words, and nothing is lettered until you add them.
Your cover page
Each cover names the response, the mark, the serial number and the exhibit letter, so the examiner can match your response to the right file. The caption follows the action: after a final action it reads Request for Reconsideration after Final Office Action. Try the settings on THRIVED’s cover.
Cover page
Letters that stay put
The first exhibit is A, then B and C. After Z come AA and AB. Drag an exhibit to a new place and GleanMark shows, before you drop it, the letter each exhibit will get. Undo takes a change back.
Your response already uses A to I? Change “Letters start at A” to J, and the first exhibit here is J.
Press Freeze Exhibit Letters, or just download: downloading freezes them too. New exhibits then go at the end, so nothing you cited moves. Moving or removing a frozen exhibit asks you first.
Unfreeze to reorder, and GleanMark lists every letter that changed. Copy the changes puts that list on your clipboard, to paste into your notes.
Preview every page you will upload, each cover first, or as one run of pages the way the examiner sees it. In your own files, reorder, rotate, delete, crop, split one file into two exhibits or combine two. Your original file never changes, and USPTO records stay exactly as the USPTO sent them.
Download and file
Download gives you one zip with two folders. Upload to USPTO holds one PDF per exhibit, numbered so they stay in order. For your response holds an exhibit index in Word and the evidence description to paste into the USPTO form. You file it yourself: nothing goes to the USPTO until you upload it.
Before the download, a short list of things to check appears only when a problem would reach the upload folder: a web page with no address or date, for example, or a file over 25 MB, which the USPTO form may refuse. A clean list downloads in one click.
Edit the draft’s tables
A GleanMark response draft attaches the registrations it relies on as labeled exhibits. When a table needs a change, you don’t have to ask for a revision: click the pencil at the table’s top-right corner and edit it in place. The example below runs the editor’s own code on a short letter. Try it.
Each of these registrations pairs THRIVE with other wording for software services in Class 42 (Exhibits A-1 through A-4):
| Mark | Owner | Registration | Goods and services | Exhibit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| THRIVE SCORECARD | Planttagg, Inc. | 7,135,610 | Software as a service (SAAS) featuring software for assessing viability of residential landscaping | Exhibit A-1 |
| T THRIVE | Thrive Operations, LLC | 6,607,339 | Platform as a service (PAAS) featuring computer software platforms for outsourcing of IT management services, namely, global network management and infrastructure, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, email and messaging platforms, IT governance, data center services and IT services specific to FinTech compliance | Exhibit A-2 |
| HIGHER LOGIC THRIVE | Higher Logic, LLC | 7,063,590 | Software as a service (SAAS) services, namely, hosting software for use by others for use in building online communities and delivering targeted email communications in the field of community and social networking, and social media | Exhibit A-3 |
| WHERE SOFTWARE GOES TO THRIVE | IGNITE ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, LLC | 7,439,485 | Computer software consulting services | Exhibit A-4 |
Scroll the table sideways to see every column.
The bare word THRIVE is registered to another owner in Class 42 (Exhibit B).
| Exhibit | Record |
|---|---|
| Exhibit A-1 | THRIVE SCORECARD · Owner: Planttagg, Inc. · Reg. No. 7,135,610 · Serial No. 97/166,677 |
| Exhibit A-2 | T THRIVE · Owner: Thrive Operations, LLC · Reg. No. 6,607,339 · Serial No. 90/532,272 |
| Exhibit A-3 | HIGHER LOGIC THRIVE · Owner: Higher Logic, LLC · Reg. No. 7,063,590 · Serial No. 97/168,934 |
| Exhibit A-4 | WHERE SOFTWARE GOES TO THRIVE · Owner: IGNITE ENTERPRISE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, LLC · Reg. No. 7,439,485 · Serial No. 98/060,306 |
| Exhibit B | THRIVE · Owner: Apic Bio, Inc. · Reg. No. 6,132,202 · Serial No. 88/978,332 |
The registrations are from the THRIVED sample on our drafting page. Each goods cell shows the first service listed in that registration. The letter is shortened for this page.
Each row has a remove button. Removed rows wait under the table with Put back until you save. A column you remove comes back the same way.
Paste a serial or registration number into the table’s last row. GleanMark fills in the mark, owner and goods from the USPTO record, keeping only your client’s classes when the registration covers them. New rows go at the end and take the next exhibit letters.
The goods and a notes column are yours to edit. The mark, owner and registration number stay as the USPTO record has them.
Status, Filing date, Registration date, First use, Register, Classes, Mark description and Design codes come from the USPTO record. Notes is a blank column for your own words.
Exhibit letters renumber across the whole letter: other tables, the citations in the text and the Index of Exhibits. When the draft carries its exhibit files, a removed registration’s file comes out and an added one’s USPTO status copy is attached. A sentence that cites a removed exhibit by its letter gets a note for you to fix.
Save makes a new version, named “Table edit” in the Versions menu, and the version you edited stays there. It doesn’t use up one of your draft’s revisions.
The pencil is on the tables of a finished response draft. The Index of Exhibits has none: it follows the other tables on its own. Drag a row or a column by its handle to put it in a new order; the exhibit letters follow the rows. To drop a whole table, use Delete table in the editor: its exhibits come out and the later letters move up. To change the letter’s sentences or add a new table of registrations, use Edit text above the letter. None of this uses a revision, and none of it is offered on drafts from our earlier drafter or on a shared copy of a draft.
In a GleanMark draft
The draft attaches the registrations its arguments rely on as labeled exhibits, behind an Index of Exhibits. The table editor keeps those labels, the index and the files in step.
On the Exhibits page
Any response to an Office Action GleanMark has read, including one you write yourself: USPTO records, web pages, your files and screenshots, each with your cover page, lettered A, B, C.
The two don’t sync. The Exhibits page letters its own list and doesn’t change a draft, and editing a draft’s table doesn’t change the Exhibits page. Before you file, check that your response cites each exhibit by the right letter.

Compare plansFor your file
Your evidence, as it was. Your filing, by you.
GleanMark never changes the evidence itself. A USPTO record is the official copy, every page in order. Your own files keep their originals: arranging or cropping changes what goes in the PDF, not your file, and Reset to the original undoes it.
A web page you capture carries its address and the time of capture above every page, and a date is never guessed. Nothing reaches the USPTO until you upload it yourself.
