Browser-only prototype (React, TypeScript, Vite) for patent matter intake. It reads a USPTO PTO/SB/16 provisional application cover sheet PDF in the browser with pdf-lib, extracts the AcroForm fields, normalizes them to JSON, and records the parse as the first event in a patent matter lifecycle. The PDF is not sent to a server.
It is a prototype, not a filing system, docketing system, USPTO integration, or legal advice.
