AppColl Prosecution Manager
AppColl’s Contacts module provides access to all your contacts. A summary view provides a complete list of all your contacts with dozens of filters to refine your view to just the ones you wish to see. Choose from dozens of displayable data fields for each contact.
Clicking on a contact record provides all the information for a contact. Each contact record has a role such as attorney, law firm, company, inventor, foreign associate, outside counsel, etc. Easily set access permissions for each user. Allows superusers to see everything and some to only see the matters they’re working on. See all patent applications for each inventor. Assign default billing rates to your employees. Track USPTO registration numbers, USPTO customer numbers and deposit account numbers. The information in the contacts module can populate many USPTO forms. For example, address and citizenship for your inventor contact records can auto-populate into ADS forms.
You can easily import your current contact database into AppColl. We can handle Outlook/Gmail/Apple Mail list or full-blown HR database feeds.
