Our Intellectual Property Software Features

IP Litigation Calendaring

Rules-based calendaring eliminates manual calculation of deadlines and rule monitoring. CARET Legal’s integration with LawToolBox allows your firm to calculate deadlines based on federal court regulations.* These deadlines are automatically placed on your CARET Legal calendar along with customizable reminders, reducing the risk that a deadline will be missed. *LawToolBox subscription required

Task Management

CARET Legal’s task checklist system allows your intellectual property firm to easily store all of your pre-defined procedures in a single location. This systematic approach ensures that your team is following the correct order of operations, keeping everyone on the same page and up to date on the status of a case.

Document Management

Store client and firm documents in one location for easy retrieval. Using zDrive, members of your team can easily edit matter-related documents; all revisions are saved back to the appropriate matter in CARET Legal — no uploads needed!

Task Management Keeps Tectonic Law Firm on Track

When Pembrook and Stitt founded Tectonic, they engaged a free trial of CARET Legal and ran operations with it and an integrated payment processor. The partners continued with CARET Legal but replaced the payment processor with CARET’s own integrated payments product. As a startup law firm, Tectonic brought little data to CARET but plenty of practical experience. All at once, CARET Legal gave Tectonic a fresh and refreshing start.
