# IP Docket & Deadline Tracker

**Folder:** Legal & Compliance / Intellectual Property Counsel / Filing & Deadline Tracker

## What does it do?

IP rights live and die on deadlines — filing dates, office-action responses, renewals, maintenance fees — where a miss forfeits rights.

This agent tracks them: it maintains the IP docket with lead-time alerts, manages prosecution and renewal deadlines, and escalates anything at risk — so no IP right lapses.

## Benefits

- IP docket tracked.
- Renewals and maintenance fees flagged.
- Prosecution dates managed.
- Lead-time alerts.
- No rights lapse.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — an IP-docketing tool/Sheets and Calendar; Slack/Gmail.
• Skill — an IP-docket skill with prosecution and renewal logic.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Run it on a cadence ("show upcoming IP deadlines and renewals"). It returns the docket and at-risk items.
