Pocket IP is a web-based system for managing trademark portfolios across countries. It covers docketing, searching, monitoring, and requesting trademark actions. Docketing tracks deadlines, cases, and documents, with records linked to official trademark databases for updates; the service can also upload official-register records and update their status automatically. Search forms query national and international trademark databases and present identical, similar, and translated marks in a shared format. Users can set alerts for similar applications in selected countries, including customs registers. Pocket IP supports online trademark applications and status tracking through records connected to official databases. Its application service is available in 16 markets, including the EU, United States, United Kingdom, and Ukraine. Renewal tools calculate renewal periods, grace-period deadlines, and official fees, while displaying Pocket IP’s commission in advance. Teams can share trademark objects and tasks. The service is designed for law-firm specialists managing client portfolios and legal-department specialists at companies. It offers a free profile and free searches, but the pricing page did not provide a readable software subscription price list.
