One attorney name imports your whole docket. Every office action, §8 & §9 window, and TTAB date — computed automatically from the USPTO record. File something new? It dockets itself.
Features
Most tools track dates. MarkHarbor reads the prosecution history the way an attorney does — and knows which deadline follows from which event.
Your whole portfolio refreshes daily against TSDR. Status changes, new office actions, and prosecution events land on your docket without anyone typing a date.
Office action response windows (including post-TMA 3-month periods and extensions), §8 & §9 maintenance with grace periods, statements of use, oppositions — computed from the record itself.
Push notifications the moment something changes — not a weekly digest you read too late. Severity-ranked so critical dates surface first.
Monitor filings by attorney name and see each attorney's docket at a glance — the way firms actually divide responsibility. MarkHarbor re-checks the USPTO weekly and adds newly filed marks under your attorneys' names automatically, so new matters docket themselves.
Every mark grouped by where it lives in its life: pending examination, office action pending, published, TTAB proceeding, allowed, registered, maintenance filed.
Printable portfolio reports for client updates, one-click CSV export of your whole docket, and a live calendar feed that drops every deadline into Outlook, Google Calendar, or Apple Calendar — updating automatically.
Oppositions and cancellations detected from your portfolio or found by attorney name, with trial calendars pulled from the Board's own scheduling orders on TTABVUE — and re-checked nightly, so suspensions and resets never leave you with stale dates. Every docket entry links to the actual filing.
Marking a deadline done isn't the end of the story. After you complete a filing, MarkHarbor keeps watching the mark's USPTO record for the matching event — the §8 received, the office action response, the statement of use — and confirms it on your docket. If nothing posts within a week, you get a critical alert while a failed or forgotten submission is still fixable. No other docketing tool closes this loop.
How it works
Enter an attorney of record's name and MarkHarbor discovers every mark filed under it automatically. Upload a spreadsheet of serial numbers using our template. Or add marks one at a time. Mix and match — your docket builds in minutes either way.
MarkHarbor pulls each mark's full USPTO prosecution history and computes every live deadline — response windows, maintenance filings, grace periods, SOU chains.
Daily syncs keep the docket current, and weekly attorney-name discovery adds your newest filings on its own — file a new application on Tuesday, find it docketed by the weekend. Real-time alerts as dates approach, and a summary report whenever you need to show a client where things stand.
“We didn’t build MarkHarbor to sell software. We built it because our own §8 deadlines deserved better than a calendar app — and then other attorneys kept asking what we were using. Your marks run on the exact engine ours do.”— the practicing trademark attorneys behind MarkHarbor, customer #1 since day one
About
MarkHarbor wasn't designed in a product workshop. It was built inside a working trademark practice, by attorneys who docket real deadlines for real clients — and who were tired of tools that treat a §8 declaration like a lunch reminder.
Every rule in our deadline engine exists because we rely on it. Every feature earned its place on our own docket first. We run our own practice on MarkHarbor every day — your marks get the same engine ours do.
Pricing
Priced by portfolio size, never by seat — your whole team works from the same docket. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial.
FAQ
Yes, three ways: enter an attorney of record's name and we discover every mark filed under it; download our spreadsheet template, fill in your serial numbers, and upload it; or add marks individually. Most portfolios are fully docketed within the hour, and you can generate a summary report the moment the import finishes.
No. Once an attorney is on your docket, MarkHarbor re-runs the USPTO attorney-of-record search every week and adds any newly filed marks automatically — enriched with their full prosecution history and deadlines, with an email telling you what was found. File a new application and it dockets itself.
Directly from the USPTO's TSDR system — the same authoritative record you'd check by hand. We sync every tracked mark daily and read its full prosecution history, not just the status line.
Yes. The engine applies the Trademark Modernization Act's three-month response windows (with extension tracking) where they apply, and the six-month windows where they don't — including §66(a) applications and post-registration actions.
Yes. Oppositions and cancellations are detected from your portfolio's prosecution history or found by searching an attorney's name, and each proceeding's trial calendar is pulled from the Board's own scheduling order on TTABVUE — answer date through trial and briefing periods. Schedules are re-checked nightly, so suspensions and resets update your docket automatically, and every docket entry links to the actual filing.
We verify it. MarkHarbor watches the mark's USPTO record for the event that proves your filing was received — the §8 declaration, the office action response, the statement of use. Once it posts, the deadline shows "USPTO confirmed." If nothing matching appears within a week, you get a critical alert so a failed submission can be fixed while there's still time.
Yes. Every firm gets a private calendar feed URL — subscribe once in Outlook, Google Calendar, or Apple Calendar and every open deadline appears as an all-day event that updates automatically as your docket changes. You can also export the whole docket or portfolio to CSV at any time.
Completely. Every firm's docket, deadlines, alerts, and notes are segregated at the application layer and enforced again by database row-level security. Public USPTO records are public; your docket is yours alone.
No. MarkHarbor is docketing software built by attorneys, but it is not a law firm, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. Deadlines should always be verified by counsel responsible for the matter.
