Spend less time docketing. More time on what matters.
Process documents in seconds, not minutes
Turn a stack of PTO correspondence and emails into structured, docketed records — without re-keying a single field.
Stay in control at every step
Configure how much oversight your team applies — from fully automated AI processing to two-step review — so you set the pace and the standard.
Eliminate portfolio-wide blind spots
Track every action, deadline, and decision with a full audit trail — giving your compliance and quality teams the visibility they need.
Scale without adding headcount
Handle growing PTO volumes and multi-jurisdictional complexity without proportionally growing your docketing team.
Everything you need, from inbox to record
Take control of the full intake-to-action AI workflow — ingest from multiple sources, validate with confidence, and close the loop on every deadline, task, and citation.
Multi-source intake
Bring documents from PTO integrations (USPTO, EPO, EUIPO), forwarded emails, and uploads into a single queue — including AI processing for JPO and CIPO documents.
Automated document & email processing
Process office actions and correspondence automatically using AI — each item is classified, data and deadlines extracted, and updates proposed to the correct record.
Intelligent case matching
Every item is matched to the correct IP case using references, application numbers, and jurisdictional data. Unmatched items surface for manual assignment.
Deadline & event automation
Capture deadlines from document content, create docket events, manage completed tasks, and trigger downstream workflows — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Prior art & IDS propagation
Retrieve prior art PDFs in bulk from USPTO 892 forms, propagate citations across patent families, and eliminate duplicate effort for faster IDS preparation.
Full auditability & traceability
Track updates with a complete audit trail — giving your compliance and quality teams full visibility into what happened and when.

Testimonials
How teams like yours are working smarter
"In our previous paper-based file workflow when a file came in from the PTO, it might take three days to process a document and get it to a professional to review. Now, we can get those documents processed and reviewed in half an hour or less."

FAQ & Support
Anaqua AI docketing frequently asked questions
What is AI Docketing?
AI Docketing lets you process incoming IP documents and emails, match them to the right case, capture deadlines, and confirm docketing actions — replacing minutes of manual work with a single validated click.
What types of documents can I process?
You can process 1,000+ PTO document types across USPTO, EPO, EUIPO, JPO, and CIPO — including office actions, confirmations, grants, renewals, search reports, and general correspondence.
How does email processing work?
Forward emails from outside counsel, foreign associates, clients, or internal teams into AI Docketing. The system reads the attachments, classifying and extracting data just like PTO documents — so you manage all intake in one place.
Can I control how much automation is applied?
Yes. You configure your preferred validation level — from fully automated processing to one-step or two-step (four-eyes) review — so your team sets the right balance of speed and oversight.
Is AI Docketing for corporations, law firms, or both?
Both. AI Docketing is built for any IP team — corporate IP departments, in-house paralegal teams, and law firms of all sizes — with configurable workflows that adapt to your organizational structure and compliance needs.
How accurate is the case matching?
AI Docketing uses high-accuracy matching based on application numbers, references, and jurisdictional data. Items that can't be confidently matched are surfaced in an unmatched queue with suggested partial matches — so you always have visibility and can assign manually.
