When the FER arrives
The communication is received, an event is created on the docket, the deadline engine calculates the response date from the rule, the client report goes out and a reminder workflow opens. When your instructions arrive the reminder workflow closes, drafting begins, the response goes to professional review and it is filed. The sequence is the same every time, which is what makes it reliable.

Substantive work stays with the professionals
Claim analysis, amendment strategy, argument construction, hearing preparation and advocacy are professional work and remain so. Jidoka handles version control, approvals, signature routes, formalities, reminders, reporting and invoicing around them.
Hearings, oppositions and contested matters
Hearing notices, written submissions, adjournments and opposition proceedings run as parallel workstreams on the same docket, so an opposition does not become a separate file that drifts out of sync with the prosecution it relates to.
Ask for the position at any time
Which FER responses are due in the next 45 days? Which matters are waiting for client instructions? Which filings are ready for professional review? Jidoka answers from the live record, and every answer traces back to the docket entry behind it.
Portfolio transfers
An existing Indian portfolio can be moved across without waiting for a new filing. We review the existing matters, reconstruct and reconcile the docket, identify upcoming deadlines, review prosecution history, capture outstanding actions and record your client-specific instructions — then bring every matter into the same continuously monitored system used for new work. Transfer the portfolio once; stop rebuilding its history every time something happens.
