What DeadlineDocket offers
- USPTO trademark deadline tracking and docketing for solo attorneys and small firms (1–5 attorneys).
- Adds marks by pasting serial numbers, uploading a CSV, or forwarding USPTO filing receipts; pulls history from TSDR.
- Calculates office action, SOU, opposition-period and Section 8/9 deadlines; checks TSDR daily that a filing marked complete actually posted ("Filing Failed" flag).
- Weekly digest email; client notice emails with your firm's payment link; Outlook calendar export (.ics usable in Google/Apple).
- Says it is not a full practice management system and does not track foreign trademarks.
- A no-signup tool that shows deadlines for any serial number; mentions AI office-action tools.
How Paravant works
- Automatic USPTO docketing. Enter your correspondent email addresses. Paravant matches them against USPTO data, downloaded every 24 hours, and imports your live marks in minutes, even for thousands of marks. It covers all USPTO records back to 1870. How docketing works
- Deadlines that close themselves when a responsive filing appears. Reminders continue through grace periods, and Petition to Revive deadlines and TTAB events are tracked too.
- Client updates from your firm. White-labeled email from your domain and SMS from your own number (clients opt in), a client portal opened by a private link, a message log and BCC. Client communication
- AI drafting: Office Action Drafting and the AI Trademark Assistant.
- Weekly business development leads.
- Your team: one admin, per-member permissions, a shared dashboard. Team collaboration
- Zapier on every plan. The native Clio integration and the Intake Center are coming late 2026.

If you want to add marks one serial number at a time, a calendar file for Outlook, or payment links inside client notices, DeadlineDocket offers those. Paravant has no iCal export (calendaring is coming through Clio) and no pay links.
Switching to Paravant
Your USPTO marks come in from your correspondent emails, so there's no docket data to move. We import your client contacts at onboarding, or you can bring them in through Zapier, or from Clio once the native integration launches (coming late 2026). Most firms launch within days. There are no setup fees, switching is free, and billing doesn't start until your current contract ends. Read how Markavo docketed over 4,000 trademarks with Paravant.
