Automatically generate docketing tasks for US Patents from USPTO e-Office Action emails. US Trademarks are auto-updated with no user intervention needed.  AppColl® includes hundreds of task types for U.S. Patent & Trademark Law, and PCT Law through national phase entry. Each task’s rules use triggering events to automatically create docketing items and additional settings to automatically calculate the due date. Foreign matters can easily be docketed manually.
