IP Axix sets itself up from nothing but your patent numbers — pulling your US and European cases live from the patent offices, calculating every deadline, and reminding you before anything can lapse. No docketing department. No data-entry project.
Almost never through a decision — it happens in the ordinary gaps. Where the statutory dates are kept, who is actually watching them, and what the upkeep really costs.
The next renewal is a reminder someone hopes they set. When it lives in a memory or a spreadsheet, one gap is all it takes to lose a patent.
Across attorneys, outside firms, inboxes and spreadsheets — each a step behind the last. Too often you hear about a deadline only when the email lands.
What it takes to keep a portfolio alive over the next decade — US maintenance fees, EP renewals — stays invisible until the invoice does.
Not a spreadsheet with reminders. A live system that closes every one of those gaps — it reads the patent offices for you, turns what it finds into dates and decisions, and keeps everyone looking at the same picture.
US and European deadlines land in your tracker on their own, pulled live from the USPTO and EPO — office-action responses, issue fees, maintenance fees, EP renewals. Nothing to enter, nothing to remember.
Every office action is read and explained the day it posts — what's rejected, the references, what's being asked — so you know what it means without opening the 20-page PDF.
Accept a deadline and it becomes an action. Attorneys work it, clients watch the same live status in real time — no more emailing "what's the update on our matter?"
Exactly what it costs to keep each patent alive, year by year — US maintenance fees and EPO renewals across the whole portfolio — so renewals are a decision, never a surprise bill.
Clients see their own portfolio; each attorney sees only their assigned cases. Whether it's one firm with many clients or one in-house team with many attorneys, access is controlled by design.
Ask the built-in AI agent in plain English — "what's due next quarter?", "which cases got a final rejection?", "what's my renewal spend in 2027?" — and get the answer straight from your own data.
Most portfolios are still watched by hand — a spreadsheet, a shared inbox, a reminder someone hopes they set. Here's the same job, done for you.
| Spreadsheet & inbox | IP Axix | |
|---|---|---|
| Deadlines | You calculate and set each reminder — and hope it's right | Calculated from the real statutory rules, automatically |
| Office actions | Open and read the 20-page PDF yourself | Read and summarised by AI the day it posts |
| Renewal cost | A surprise when the invoice arrives | Forecast year by year, across the whole portfolio |
| Setup | Build it, then keep it up to date forever | Paste your patent numbers — it builds itself in minutes |
| Coverage | US or EP, in separate places | US and European, in one live view |
| Who's watching | Someone, you hope | The system — every deadline, every day |
No data-entry project, no training. Point it at your patents and it does the rest.
Paste your patent or application numbers — US and European. That's the whole setup.
Every deadline, document and status appears at once, pulled fresh from the patent offices.
It keeps watching and reminds you before each date — renewals, responses and fees.
The same system, three ways to run it. Each starts from a real problem — and changes the day it's on the board.
The problem — a deep-tech startup holds 25 patents across the US and EP, and no one whose job is the dates. The next renewal rides on someone remembering, and no one can say what the next ten years of upkeep will cost.
What changes — every US and European date is watched automatically, and a year-by-year forecast turns upkeep into a budgeted number. Nothing rides on memory, and no renewal is ever a surprise.
The problem — a global electronics group runs a 3,000+ patent portfolio through several outside firms. Every deadline sits in a different attorney's docket and a spreadsheet that's always a step behind — the team learns of a date when an email lands, not before.
What changes — one board shows every deadline across every firm, straight from the offices. The team sees what's due before any attorney emails, and nothing slips in the gaps between firms.
The problem — a firm dockets thousands of cases for 100+ clients by hand, and loses hours every week to "what's coming up on our matters?" — one manual look-up at a time.
What changes — every client gets a portal that answers their own "what's next," while the firm runs it all from one dashboard. Docketing depth for the whole book of business, without the docketing hours.
Pick the one that matches your team — everything else works the same. Setup is just your patent numbers: paste them in and IP Axix pulls every case live from the USPTO and EPO. No data-entry project, no migration.
Every plan includes the free tools, live US & EP data, and reminders before each deadline. Setup is just patent numbers — no migration. No card to start · cancel anytime.
You paste your patent or application numbers — US and European. IP Axix pulls the biblio, status, prosecution history and deadlines straight from the USPTO and EPO. There's no spreadsheet import and no data-entry project; the board builds itself in minutes.
Yes. Start a free trial and manage up to 3 patents for 30 days with full access to every feature — no card required. When you're ready for more, move to a paid plan and your patents and history carry over untouched.
Three ways, same platform. Startup / Small firm — one owner, one portfolio. Corporate — an in-house team where you see everything consolidated and each attorney sees only the patents allocated to them. Practice — a firm switching between multiple clients, each with their own live deadline view. You pick the shape that fits.
Yes. Status, dates and deadlines come live from the USPTO (US) and the EPO (European) — including US maintenance fees and EPO renewal fees, calculated against the real statutory rules.
No. IP Axix is a docketing and monitoring tool that makes sure a date is never missed. It isn't legal advice — always verify critical dates and actions against the official record with your patent attorney.
Most docketing systems only track what someone remembered to enter, and stop at the date. IP Axix pulls the deadlines itself from the USPTO and EPO, reads and summarises every office action, and forecasts your renewal costs — so it catches the cases that never made it into your tool and tells you what each action actually means. Many teams run it alongside their existing setup as the safety net.
Minutes. Paste your patent numbers and your live board builds itself — every deadline, document and status, pulled fresh from the patent offices. You can even see your own portfolio watched with our free audit before you speak to anyone.
The free tools run on the public patent-office record and don't tie a lookup to you. If you ask us to monitor a portfolio, your data is used only to run your account and send your reminders — never sold or shared. You can export or delete it whenever you want.
A short, occasional email on patent deadlines, renewal fees and office-action tactics — US & European. No spam; unsubscribe anytime.
Send a colleague or firm a link — they can put their own portfolio on the board free, in minutes.
Put your patents on the board free for 30 days — full access, up to 3 patents, no card. Setup is just the patent numbers. Prefer a guided start? Book a 20-minute walkthrough and we'll set it up with you.
