How it Works

To create a Manager account, we need a gather the data on your current applications. To add a new application, email us a filing receipt for the application - provisional, utility, or PCT. You can update your cases by emailing us a fresh copy of your XML file, and you must add our intake email to your PAIR automatic notifications. That way, we can update your account with the latest actions for you as they occur. Depending on application type priority date, we also automatically add deadlines for follow-on filings, such as provisional-to-Non-provisional and Utility-to-PCT. Once an application receives an office action, we will set up the external deadlines for responses.  Your account gives you access to our simple web-based docket viewer with to-do list and calendar.  The reports are color-coded to show how close each application is to a deadline.  We use standard due dates for all USPTO responses and make changes to your account based on updates from you. Let us know when you file a response, and we remove the open matter from your board.
