IP Support & Docketing Assistance
The careful administrative work that drains paralegal hours — handled accurately, on your system.
Use it when: Overflow periods, holiday cover, or when hiring a full-time paralegal is not yet justified.
The job, done properly
Not every task needs a searcher — a lot of what slows IP teams down is careful, deadline-sensitive administration. I can support docket entry and deadline tracking, status updates, IDS reference compilation, family / legal-status checks, and report formatting, working inside your tools and templates so nothing about your process has to change.
- Docket entry and deadline tracking on your system
- Patent-family and legal-status look-ups / verification
- IDS reference compilation and formatting support
- Status reports and portfolio updates in your format
- General overflow research and formatting support
