Clio Docket vs Ex Parte

Clio Docket is a court-monitoring and filing-search feature inside Clio Work, not a separate subscription. It watches connected court dockets and alerts users in Clio Work when filings, motions, orders, or scheduling changes appear. From within a matter, users can search more than 1 billion U.S. federal and state court filings by party, case number, keyword, or court. Retrieved documents are named and saved to the relevant Clio matter folder. Coverage includes federal district, appellate, and bankruptcy courts, plus PTAB, TTAB, ITC, NLRB, and major state trial courts. Clio describes Docket as built for litigators already using Clio. It is included with Clio Work, which uses per-user pricing, but the displayed price is not available; some court materials may carry separate fees shown before purchase. Docket is available to eligible Clio Work customers in supported U.S. jurisdictions beginning August 18, 2026. Clio says its platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts data in transit and at rest. It also says Clio Work client information is not used to train external AI models.

Ex Parte is a web platform for finding vulnerabilities that may affect legal cases. It provides a permissioned workspace for each matter, with reports that connect findings to source pages, lines, and citations. Specialized agents examine examiner search logs, prosecution history amendments, and gaps between complaint allegations and patent specifications. The company says a quality-review agent checks findings against primary sources before delivery. Its knowledge graph draws on sources including USPTO file wrappers, PTAB proceedings, PACER filings, court opinions and dockets, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, PubMed, and SEC EDGAR. Ex Parte says its entity graph contains more than 2 billion entities and its knowledge graph maps more than 2 billion relationships among patents, parties, counsel, judges, and outcomes. It identifies law firms, corporate counsel, litigation finance, hedge funds, insurers, and universities as potential users. Pricing is on request; a free trial is available without a credit card. Trial use is for internal evaluation, may be limited or suspended, and offers no service levels or support. Trial outputs may contain errors and require independent verification.
