International: Date-Based & Underlying Right Statuses

Edited

Our software uses a feature called a "Smart Status" to generate international maintenance and use deadlines in specific jurisdictions. In certain jurisdictions, there are multiple statuses that could exist because of law changes or updates to IP rights over time. We also have WIPO statuses available for any designation records.

To learn how to add a Smart Status to your trademarks, check out this article.
