Patent Operations That Replace Your Spreadsheets, Scattered Searches, and Drafting Tools

DYI is built for pharma companies and IP boutique law firms that manage patent portfolios across multiple jurisdictions. Typical users include IP attorneys, patent paralegals, IP directors, and legal operations teams who need patent docketing, prior art search, fee and deadline tracking, and a defensible audit trail in one place, instead of spreadsheets and email.

IP management software is a specialized platform that helps law firms, corporations, and patent teams manage their intellectual property portfolios, including patent applications, PCT filings, office actions, deadlines, fees, and compliance requirements. It replaces spreadsheets and email-based tracking with a structured, searchable, and auditable system.

Compliance is built into every workflow, not bolted on. Every edit to a critical field requires a documented reason-for-change. The full audit trail logs who made each change, what changed, and when, with immutable, tamper-proof records. Electronic signatures require re-authentication, and role-based access control ensures only authorized users can perform sensitive actions.

Yes. The platform links PRV (provisional), PCT (international), and NPE (national phase entry) cases to their parent patent families. You can see the entire filing hierarchy in a visual family tree, track deadlines across all filing types, and manage office actions and fees from a single dashboard.

Yes. Multi-jurisdiction portfolios are the core use case. Docketing covers US, PCT, EU, JP, CN, and IN, with PRV, PCT, and NPE cases linked to their parent application families so the full filing hierarchy is visible in one place. Deadlines, fees, and office actions are tracked across every jurisdiction, and fee analytics roll up spend with date-accurate multi-currency conversion into one reporting currency.

Statutory and procedural deadlines are derived automatically from your case data rather than entered by hand, so they cannot be forgotten or typed wrong. Every deadline gets a 0 to 100 risk score with green, amber, and red levels, and automated email digests push what is due to the responsible owner before the date. A weekly stale-alert report also surfaces cases that are quietly going wrong without generating a hard deadline.

The platform supports 42 fee types across 8 categories, including filing fees, examination fees, issue fees, maintenance/annuity fees, extension fees, petition fees, PCT fees, and miscellaneous fees. Each fee can be tracked as due, paid, waived, or overdue with full analytics and CSV export.
