Docketing is a process that is most commonly used with intellectual property (IP) during the patent and trademark application process for collecting and managing deadlines and documents.
Legal firms also use docketing to manage client court appointments and documents. Data privacy and intellectual property management software are generally used to take care of these dockets which keeps any documentation compliant with data privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of EU.
Professionals can stay on track with important due dates and deadlines without having to record important information manually with digitized docketing. Docketing is used by lawyers, healthcare professionals, government agencies and intellectual property professionals as a means to manage their key dates.
Calendars, document storage, client forms and communication tools are basic elements of docketing. Maintaining document quality, providing real-time updates and lowering operational costs are some of the other benefits of docketing along with making teams more efficient and keeping data organized.
The performance of internal teams can be significantly improved by implementing an effective docketing system. It is important to consider choosing a system that is right for the industry, scheduling reminders and running frequent reports when thinking about updating or creating a docketing system.
