At Fenwick, we took notice that our trademark clients were frustrated over the lack of products that existed to seamlessly manage their marks, police their brands and interact with counsel on a global basis. So we responded by building one for them.
We created our innovative and proprietary Trademark Extranet to make the entire trademark management process easier for our clients. Transparency is its centerpiece – the actions of our trademark lawyers are visible to clients in real time.
Fenwick’s Trademark Extranet is not a patent management system shoehorned into a trademark application, and clients tell us it is far more robust and intuitive than other off-the-shelf system management products they have used. The benefits to our clients are unique and comprehensive:
- Get the full picture of your portfolio: Access is immediate, complete and paperless – to trademark data, documents, specimens and evidence for in-house managers and outside counsel.
- Save time and money: Because all matter information is immediately viewable, there is no need to contact us for routine inquiries.
- Find exactly what you need in seconds: Easy-to-use tabs offer full searching, reporting and docket management for complete portfolios, individual marks and dispute matters.
- Easy, real-time reporting: Contents are automatically updated and synchronized to each trademark docket for robust, easy-to-use reporting.
- Audit trails and complete documentation: Complete documentation tracks and maintains the entire life cycle of a trademark or dispute matter.
Our Unique Approach to Trademark Management
A new extranet is opened for every trademark client. We currently host more than 500. Each Trademark Extranet includes our client’s entire trademark portfolio (for which our firm is responsible), including all specifics on the prosecution, portfolio management and dispute actions that we take.

Fenwick Trademark Extranets address client concerns that off-the-shelf products do not, such as brand management and enforcement. For example, we are able to create a matrix of policing actions that graphically presents the marks, classes and countries that are involved in any given trademark enforcement matter, significantly simplifying policing efforts for your in-house brand managers.

Clients can view the status of their marks at any time, thanks to direct data downloads through CPi. This is a unique feature of Fenwick’s Trademark Extranet, and it saves an enormous amount of time and cost.
