In short

How do I track trademark office action response deadlines automatically?

Every morning, WebRun opens Alt Legal, finds office actions whose response deadline is approaching, and captures each mark, deadline, and days remaining. It logs them to a Google Sheet ranked by urgency and sends you a Telegram flag of the tightest ones, so every office action response gets filed in time and none slips past its statutory window.

  • Response deadlines surface every morning, ranked by urgency
  • The tightest office actions reach your phone via Telegram
  • Every response is prepared and filed by a person, never auto-submitted

Questions, answered

Does it file the office action response?

No. WebRun only reads deadlines and builds the worklist. It never files or submits a response, so an attorney prepares and files every office action response after seeing which ones are due.

How does it know each response deadline?

WebRun reads the office action issue date and statutory response deadline that Alt Legal dockets on each matter, then counts the days remaining every morning so the worklist reflects today's live dates.

Can I get the alert somewhere other than Telegram?

Yes. The flag can go to Telegram, Slack, or email instead. The worklist itself always lives in your Google Sheet, so the whole team can see it regardless of where the flag lands.

Put this on autopilot.
