Every workflow document across your Matters

A new Documents page in the top menu lists every workflow document you are working on, in every Matter. Group it the way you think about your docket, and act on any document without opening the Matter first.

Dockets · Due SoonBeta

What's due, before it's due

Follow a representative, a customer number or an applicant, and Due Soon lists every docket line coming due: what is Overdue, Due in 7 Days and Due in 14 Days at the top, then each line with its action type, mail date and next action. Your Matters list now carries the same deadlines.

Overdue, Due in 7 Days and Due in 14 Days at a glance
Narrow by Action Type and Upcoming Date
Sort and filter Matters by Docket Deadline: overdue, or within 7, 14, 30 or 90 days
Patent and trademark docket lines side by side
Next-due dates are calculated from the last USPTO action. Verify them against the Office Action.

Matters · USPTO tab

Your Matter, linked to its applications and marks

Link a Matter to its applications and marks, and the Matter's USPTO tab shows their docket lines and new USPTO mail. Or link from the other side: tick docket lines in any docket and choose Link to Matter….

Workbench, Docket Lines, Mail and Suggestions in one tab
Link Applications and Marks… by application or serial number
Link to Matter… or Link to New Matter from any docket grid
Then go to the Matter, or stay where you are

How this examiner has been argued, and what worked

Argument Analysis is rebuilt as four steps: Frame, Find, Read and Report. Set an examiner, an art unit, a CPC class or a statute; Junior finds the prosecution histories, lays applicant arguments next to the examiner's responses, and builds a report with key takeaways.
