The problem

Wet signatures require a printer. Stylus signatures produce shoddy scrawls. DocuSign is built for corporate contracts, not for inventors who need to sign one declaration.

Meanwhile, the USPTO has, since 2004, accepted S-signatures — a name typed between two forward slashes. Every patent office in the world would accept it. The tooling just hadn’t caught up.

How it works

Pick a template.

Maintain a library of declarations, assignments, and combined forms. Insert placeholders once; reuse forever.

Send a link.

Each inventor gets a URL. They confirm their email, read the document, and type their S-signature. No accounts. No apps to install.

Export the PDF.

Download the signed document with a complete audit log — timestamps, IPs, browser, attestation. Ready to file.

Return on investment

You’re not buying signature software. You’re buying attorney time back.

Hours reclaimed

167 hrs

Ten minutes is a conservative estimate. It doesn’t count the second follow-up email, the DocuSign account the inventor doesn’t have, the scanner that isn’t working, or the paralegal explaining, again, how to drag the signature block.

At a modest $150/hour loaded labor cost, 167 hours is $25,050 back into billable work each year — many times the price of the software.

Scale it to your firm. 2,500 applications a year returns roughly 417 hours. 5,000 returns 833. The customer isn’t purchasing electronic signatures — they’re purchasing attorney and paralegal time.

Built for 37 C.F.R. § 1.4(d)

Every requirement of the S-signature rule is enforced by the workflow, not left to the signer.

§ 1.4(d)(2)(i): Syntax — letters, spaces, and permitted punctuation between two forward slashes — is validated as it’s typed.
§ 1.4(d)(2)(iii): The signer’s typed name is presented adjacent to the S-signature by layout — not by hoping the signer types it correctly.
§ 1.4(d)(5)(ii): A verified email, an accepted attestation, IP address, browser, and precise timestamps are captured — immutably — for every step of the signing workflow.

This is not legal advice. Users should obtain approval from their own counsel before using the product.
