Can foreign law firms and corporate IP teams instruct JidokaIP directly?+
Yes. Send the instruction by email as you would to any associate. JidokaIP operates as an India execution layer for international IP firms, foreign patent attorneys, corporate IP departments and portfolio teams.
Is Jidoka an attorney?+
No. Jidoka is an agentic operating intelligence. Professionals make the legal decisions. Jidoka makes sure the operation keeps moving.
Do we need to adopt a portal or new software?+
No. Your email is the operating input. There is no portal for your team to learn, no spreadsheet to maintain and no duplicate data entry.
How are deadlines calculated?+
Deterministically, from the triggering event and the statutory or internal rule that governs it. The calculation is inspectable and versioned. Rules protect the deadline. Jidoka runs the work around it.
Can we set standing instructions for our portfolio?+
Yes. Reminder cadence, reporting recipients, escalation contacts, PO rules, billing entities, cost approvals, signature routes and naming conventions can all be recorded in your client playbook and applied to every matter automatically.
Will we know what defined work costs before it begins?+
For defined filing work you receive the professional fee, the applicable official fee, the filing requirements, anything missing and the next step before you authorise. Standing fee schedules can be agreed for recurring work and larger portfolios.
Can we send a batch of national phase instructions at once?+
Yes. Send them separately, in a single email or as a spreadsheet. Each becomes its own docketed matter with its own deadlines, and each receives the same treatment.
Can we instruct you to hold the request for examination?+
Yes. Record it once — for example, do not request examination until separately instructed — and it stays attached to the matter for the life of the prosecution.
