Say goodbye to manual case creation, our PCT Nationalization tool rapidly creates cases for national and regional phase entry of Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications. The patent attorney software tool reproduces the main details of the original case into each national case—from case titles to client information and contacts—and sets default case dates, according to pre-set workflows.
Quickly create validation cases for existing European patent (EP) rights within your Equinox IP management system. Simply select the appropriate countries and our dedicated patent management software tool will automatically copy data from the parent EP patent and set up new EP Validation cases for each case family.
Our Unitary Patent tool was created to enable users to specify which European patents should be filed with "unitary effect" following the launch of the Unified Patent Court System in 2023. The patent attorney software tool enables you to capture the extra information and date fields required for requests for and registrations of unitary effect.
Equinox Law Firm is connected with official offices to help you align your case information with the information held by national and regional patent and trademark offices. These include the MyEPO Mailbox provided by the European Patent Office (EPO), meaning you can choose to receive and process official EPO communications and documents directly from your Equinox patent management software. The same applies to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
