Your files, managed on a system we built ourselves
Every client file at IP Ahead runs on IP Ahead Docket, our in-house, proprietary docketing and billing system, designed specifically for Indian IP practice.
Off-the-shelf software is built for every kind of law firm. Ours was built for trademarks, copyright and designs: the Indian Trade Marks Registry’s procedures, Journal publications, opposition timelines and renewal cycles. It brings each matter, its deadlines, its documents and its billing together in one register, so the attorney handling your matter always has the full picture.
Every matter in one register
Trademark, copyright and design applications, oppositions, rectifications and hearings are recorded against each client, with a dedicated, organised digital folder for every file.
Deadlines and renewals monitored continuously
Statutory deadlines, hearing dates and renewal due dates are tracked and reviewed in one place, so no limitation date or renewal slips through.
Clear, itemised invoicing
Professional fees, official fees and disbursements are shown separately on every invoice, with GST invoices for Indian clients and export invoices for clients overseas.
