When DocketTrak may be the better fit
If you docket patents, litigation, contracts or foreign renewals alongside trademarks, DocketTrak covers more matter types than Paravant, which is US-trademark-only.
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.
