Features

Answers to the questions clients ask most, before they ask.

Everything on this page works today in the early access release. Clients get one place to check their IP, and your team stops answering the same status email.

See the whole portfolio

Portfolio at a glance

Every mark, work, patent family and trade secret program for a client sits on one screen. It is grouped by type and searchable, and it shows what is due and what is waiting on the client.

Stage trackers for each IP type

Trademarks move from filed to examined, published and registered. Copyrights and trade secret programs get their own stages. Office actions show up as events, not dead ends.

Deadlines with citations

Section 8, Section 15 and renewal windows, office action responses and patent maintenance are computed from the rule. Each date shows its authority, and an override needs a reason.

Talk and decide in one place

Concerns and next steps

Staff draft and attorneys publish. Clients read your guidance in plain English, marked as privileged, right next to the matter it is about.

Secure messages and decisions

Threads live on the matter instead of in email. Ask a client to choose by a date, such as whether to proceed, and get the answer in one click.

Book a call

Clients request time from your weekly availability, right from the matter they are asking about. You confirm with a click.

Keep the paperwork in order

Document vault

Clients and staff can both upload. Nothing is visible to clients until you release it, and a sealed tier keeps trade secret files to named people only.

Guided intake

Clients can request a new trademark, copyright, trade secret program, patent referral or contract review. The forms ask for use dates and whether AI helped create a work.

Import your spreadsheet

Bring an existing docket in from a CSV file and check a preview first. Deadlines appear as soon as registration dates are in.

Make it yours and keep a record

Your brand, your address

Your logo and colors appear on the portal and the sign-in page at yourfirm.fairpointlaw.com. Your own domain, such as portal.yourfirm.com, is on the roadmap.

Audit trail

A tamper-evident log records who viewed and changed what, including denied attempts. You can verify it and export it.

Ready for AI assistants

A scoped, read-only API lets a client's own AI assistant check status and deadlines. It never sees sealed material.

Never miss a window

The date math, done for you, with the reasoning shown.

Enter a registration date once. The portal lays out every maintenance window and grace period, and each date carries the rule it came from. You can check the math instead of trusting it.

This example uses a United States trademark registered on May 15, 2023. Attorneys should always confirm critical dates.
