Run your trademark practice without missing a deadline.

A guarded case pipeline, a statutory-deadline engine, a blocking document checklist and a client portal — built for IP firms that cannot afford an administrative error.

The problem

A single missed statutory window — a late renewal, an unanswered opposition, a lapsed power of attorney — can forfeit a client’s trademark rights. Spreadsheets and calendar reminders have no enforcement: nothing stops a filing from proceeding with missing documents, and deadline math is done by hand. Generic CRMs track tasks but understand nothing about statutory clocks, guarded procedural stages, or IP-specific billing milestones.

The solution

A visual kanban pipeline with plain-language stage guidance moves every matter through filing, examination, opposition and renewal in the right order, with a hard document gate before filing. Statutory clocks calculate themselves from jurisdiction rules, deadlines and hearings stay visible on every record, and a client portal lets customers follow their own matters — so the firm manages a growing caseload by exception, not by memory.

Capabilities

Everything an IP docket needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Guarded stage pipeline

A visual kanban moves each matter through filing, examination, publication, opposition and renewal with plain-language guidance at every stage — so staff without a law degree know exactly what happens next.

02

Statutory deadline engine

Computes examination, opposition, counterstatement, renewal and appeal deadlines from the triggering event per jurisdiction, with escalation reminders when a step stalls.

03

Blocking document checklist

Auto-generates the documents a matter needs and shows clearly what is outstanding, blocking the filing stage until everything is verified.

04

Power-of-attorney register

Tracks POA validity per client and carries a valid POA forward to new matters, so the firm never re-requests one or files on a lapsed authorization.

05

Hearing scheduling

Schedules opposition and appeal hearings against each matter and reminds the responsible staff, so contested-matter appearances are never missed.

06

Milestone-based billing

Generates quotation lines when a defined case milestone is reached, with discount-approval routing on the sale order so firm pricing policy is enforced automatically.

07

Client-facing portal

Lets clients review quotations, upload required documents and track matter and deadline status themselves, cutting the staff back-and-forth that slows filings.

08

Deadline & pipeline reporting

Surfaces upcoming and at-risk deadlines, caseload distribution by stage, and matter profitability by client and jurisdiction.

09

Multi-jurisdiction configuration

Ships configurable jurisdiction templates with their own statutory periods, plus a bulk recompute wizard to re-run every open matter when a registry changes its rules.

Workflow

How it works

1

Configure jurisdictions

Set each jurisdiction’s statutory periods, required document types and matter stages once.

2

Open a matter

Capture the filing and track it on the kanban through examination, opposition and renewal with a blocking document gate.

3

Track deadlines & hearings

Statutory clocks, escalation reminders and hearing dates stay visible on every matter.

4

Bill & share with the client

Milestones generate quotation lines, and clients follow progress and upload documents through the portal.

Yes. Jurisdictions are configuration records: each one defines its own examination, opposition, counterstatement, renewal and POA periods, so you can add a jurisdiction and its statutory rules without any code changes.
