Page Vault Launches Stencil, a New Platform for Trademark Prosecution Workflows

MIAMI, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Page Vault today announced the launch of Stencil by Page Vault, a purpose-built platform designed to streamline trademark prosecution. Stencil helps trademark teams automate repetitive tasks such as drafting USPTO-compliant goods and services descriptions and collecting acceptable specimens, allowing attorneys to focus on legal judgment instead of manual administrative work.

Despite rising scrutiny from the USPTO and increasing expectations for precise filings, many trademark prosecution workflows still rely on manual research, spreadsheet tracking, and disconnected systems. Stencil was created to bring structure and efficiency to these processes.

"Over the years, we started to see Page Vault used by IP teams not just downstream in disputes, but increasingly upstream in trademark prosecution, especially for specimen capture," said Alex Sappington, Co-CEO of Page Vault. "That gave us a clear view into how much repetitive, manual work happens before a filing ever occurs. Drafting goods and services, searching the ID Manual, preparing renewals…it's operationally heavy work that hasn't kept pace with modern software. Stencil grew directly out of that realization."

Stencil accelerates the most time-consuming steps of the prosecution process by:

• Generating USPTO-compliant goods and services descriptions from a business description, website, or existing identification
• Automatically identifying and capturing USPTO-ready specimens, complete with URL and timestamp
• Integrating directly with the USPTO ID Manual so clients can refine ID language while staying within the constraints of the ID Manual
• Supporting renewal preparation by organizing proof of use and surfacing potential evidence gaps early

Early users report saving 30–90 minutes per trademark application while producing stronger, more consistent first drafts.

"Prosecution teams spend significant time interpreting client inputs, researching websites, and searching the ID Manual before they ever draft the final application," said Luke Suydam, Co-CEO of Page Vault. "Stencil provides a structured starting point so teams can move faster without sacrificing accuracy or compliance."

"Because prosecution is typically flat or capped-fee work, every hour spent on manual tasks impacts margins," said Mairin Jerse, Director of Product at Page Vault. "Stencil removes the scavenger hunt: manual searching, cross-referencing, and formatting; while keeping attorneys fully in control of the final filing."

Stencil builds on Page Vault's decade of supporting intellectual property teams with legally defensible web capture and digital evidence solutions.
