Matter Subtypes

Updated by Sophia

Alt Legal has several matter types available to users (Trademarks, Patents, Disputes, etc), and within each matter type, we have an additional matter subtype available to users. This subtype is generally things like "Standard Character Mark" or "Utility Patent". Alt Legal allows you to set your own subtype for all non-automated matters in the docket.

This matter subtype is a selection dropdown. You'll be presented with the options you've used in the past to indicate what the subtype of the matter is, and they can be selected or a new subtype can be added.

To locate matters that have a specific subtype, you can use the Type filter on the main docket screen. Click "Manage Subtypes" to choose the specific subtypes you'd like returned via the filter.
