Docketing Patents

To docket a patent, click the Add Matter button and select Patent from the list.

This will bring up a blank detailed patent record that you can populate with information about the filing. 

To have patent deadlines automatically calculated, select the IP office, input the application and issue dates (if applicable), and select the status of the filing. As you start typing a few characters in the status box, we will try to predict the applicable status. Type in the status name or click on the correct status.

ⓘ This feature is currently limited to select USPTO patent statuses.

If you’ve selected one of the "smart statuses" provided, we will determine the deadlines for the filing or prompt you for additional information. Click here for a list of current USPTO smart statuses. Please confirm that the deadline is correct before proceeding.

For all docketed items, you can add your own entries beyond the ones determined by our software. These entries will appear in your weekly or daily docketing emails.

For all docketed items, you can also add contacts and collaborators to the record and determine their access levels, and add Notes and Documents under their sections to the right.
