Submits an asynchronous job to generate a Response to Office Action (ROA) document in DOCX format. The job runs in the background via Celery workers.

Async workflow

  1. Submit this endpoint — returns a job_id immediately
  2. Poll /draft-roa/status/{job_id} until status is complete
  3. Download the DOCX via the signed URL in the status response

Strategy selections

Override the AI-recommended strategy for specific claims:
{
  "strategy_selections": {
    "claim_1": "amend_narrow",
    "claim_2": "argue_distinction",
    "claim_5": "cancel"
  }
}
StrategyMeaning
amend_narrowNarrow the claim with additional limitations
argue_distinctionArgue that the claim is already distinct from prior art
cancelCancel the claim
argue_unexpected_resultsArgue unexpected results (for 103 rejections)
If strategy_selections is empty or omitted, the AI recommendations from the analysis are used.
