Grouped by due date
Applications sit under the date their next step is due, with a count on each day.

Trade mark, copyright, patent and design applications, each with its official number, its classes and the stage it has reached.
Every application carries what the registry will ask you for, so the file is never in someone's inbox.

Trade marks come with 31 stages already set up, including the full opposition sequence. Copyright has its own. Admins can edit every list, and add the stages for patents and designs.

The people on an application are told when it moves.
Two PDFs come straight out of the register.

Try it for five days in a full workspace, already furnished with sample data. No card, and nothing to cancel when the five days are up.
