<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">We actually stepped away from AltLegal about a year ago, and went with WebTMS. Our primary concern was that we were having problems getting good reporting out of AltLegal to give to our clients with larger portfolios. <div><br></div><div>Also, with all these systems, we have found that the data synchronization from non-US trademark offices is often unreliable/problematic. Because of sometimes months-long delays in getting the automated data sync, we routinely have registration certificates or other developments well before the data comes automatically. Sync functions also do not tend to include things like office actions and their deadlines. Finally, we found that when we manually docket an item but have data sync turned on, the data sync will override it, which can be problematic in certain situations. Risks will depend of course on where your clients are filing, so just use and configure any data sync with care - it's not a panacea. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jan 17, 2025 at 10:46\u202fAM Steve Cooper via E-trademarks <<a href="mailto:e-trademarks@oppedahl-lists.com">e-trademarks@oppedahl-lists.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg5917290050419055507"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_5917290050419055507WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">I would also agree with the Alt Legal recommendations, I have used it for several years now and like it a lot.

When Alt Legal flags information in one of your foreign marks has changed at the local IP office, it includes them in a \u201cTrademark Data Review\u201d section of the activity email they send out based on your settings, so you would know something has changed and be able to check it.

Their fees are based on the number of matters, so maybe it could be pricier for large portfolios, but I\u2019ve appreciated the way they do it because the cost is transparent (I feel it\u2019s one of the few that actually lists pricing on their <a href="https://www.altlegal.com/pricing/" target="_blank">website</a>) and they are invested in your growth and success.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Steven T.
