In their own words
FlexTrac IP
FlexTrac IP manages intellectual-property matters, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing and trade secrets. It provides docket management, client administration and related professional services, with U.S. patent and trademark tasks docketed from triggering events and due-date rules. Foreign matters must be docketed manually. Its Forms Library includes more than 200 PTO forms, over 40 customizable reports and Acrobat EFS form combinations for USPTO electronic filing.
