IDS Forms (Information Disclosure Statement)

Automatically generate USPTO-compliant Information Disclosure Statement forms with patent data retrieval, customizable sorting, and signature management.

What is an IDS?

An Information Disclosure Statement (IDS) is a document filed with the USPTO to disclose prior art and other relevant information that may be material to patentability. Patent Loop automates the IDS form generation process, including fetching patent data from USPTO databases.

Key Features

  • Automatic Data Retrieval: Enter patent numbers and the system automatically fetches patent details, inventors, issue dates, and other metadata from USPTO databases
  • Multiple Reference Types: Support for US Patents, US Publications, Foreign Patents (EP, WO, JP, etc.), and Non-Patent Literature
  • Signature Management: Save and reuse attorney signatures with registration numbers
  • Customizable Sorting: Configure how references are sorted (by input order, document number, date, or inventor/applicant name)
  • Duplicate Detection: Automatically removes duplicate entries across all reference types
  • Application Info Integration: Automatically retrieves application information from USPTO including filing date, first inventor, art unit, and examiner name
  • History & Search: Access previously generated IDS forms with searchable history by application number, patent numbers, inventors, and more
  • PDF Generation: Creates USPTO-compliant IDS forms ready for submission

How to Create an IDS Form

  1. Navigate to IDS Page: Access the IDS form generator from the main navigation
  2. Enter Application Info: Provide your application number, optional docket number, and IDS name
  3. Add US References: Enter US patent and publication numbers (one per line). System accepts various formats (US10123456, 10,123,456, US2020/0123456, etc.)
  4. Add Foreign References: Enter foreign patent numbers (EP1234567A1, WO2020123456, JP2019123456, etc.)
  5. Add NPL References: Enter non-patent literature citations (one per line)
  6. Select Signature: Choose from saved signatures or create new ones in Settings
  7. Generate: Click "Generate IDS" to create your form - the system will fetch all patent data and create a USPTO-compliant PDF
  8. Download: Your PDF will automatically download when ready

IDS Settings

Configure your IDS generation preferences in the Settings tab:

  • Reference Sorting: Choose how US Patents, US Publications, and Foreign Patents should be sorted (input order, document number, date, or name)
  • Docket Number Preference: Choose whether to use retrieved docket numbers from USPTO or always use your input
  • Signatures: Add and manage multiple attorney signatures with registration numbers and optional labels
  • Default Signature: Set a default signature for quick form generation

IDS History

The History tab provides:

  • All Generated Forms: View all previously created IDS forms
  • Search Functionality: Search by IDS name, application number, docket number, patent numbers, inventors, examiners, and more
  • Detailed View: Expand any form to see all included references and application information
  • Re-download: Download PDF copies of any previously generated IDS form

Tips for Best Results

  • Use consistent naming conventions for your IDS forms (e.g., "IDS_Initial_Filing", "IDS_Supplemental_2024")
  • The system accepts flexible patent number formats - don't worry about commas, spaces, or "US" prefixes
  • Save frequently used signatures in Settings to speed up form generation
  • Review the generated form details before downloading to ensure all references were found
  • For publication numbers, the system handles both full format (2020/0123456) and shortened format (20200123456)
  • Foreign patent numbers should include country code and kind code (EP1234567A1)
