Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Continux is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Continux addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
In-house IP team managing 5,000+ patents across 40 countries tracks renewal deadlines, annuity payments, and maintenance fees in spreadsheets — a missed deadline in one jurisdiction means losing patent protection permanently, and the cost of defensive re-filing (if even possible) dwarfs the renewal fee
IP law firm prosecution team handling 500+ active patent applications across USPTO, EPO, JPO, and CNIPA uses a different docketing system than the client's in-house team — deadlines get double-entered or missed in translation, office action responses are tracked in email threads, and neither side has real-time visibility into prosecution status
Solo IP practitioner manages 200 active trademark registrations across multiple clients and tracks renewal deadlines, office action responses, and new filing conflicts in a spreadsheet — one missed deadline means a client loses their mark and the attorney faces a malpractice claim
