When you click 'Create Matter' in RightHub after reviewing a Trademark Watch finding, the platform creates an opposition matter record within your RightHub workspace. This allows you to manage both trademark monitoring and case handling in one place, streamlining your workflow.
Here’s what happens step by step:
1. Creating an Opposition Matter Record
Once you click 'Create Matter', RightHub automatically generates an opposition matter record in your Records table. This record becomes part of your broader portfolio, where all cases related to your trademarks are stored and managed.
- Why it's important: Staying within the same platform for both managing opposition matters and reviewing trademark watch findings simplifies your work and keeps everything centralized.
2. Automatic Population of Fields
RightHub saves you time by automatically populating all available fields related to the new trademark application you are opposing. This includes:
- Application Details: Information such as the applicant’s name and address.
- Trademark Information: The conflicting trademark application, including the applied-for mark and its opposition deadline date.
This auto-population ensures accuracy and reduces manual data entry.
3. Task Creation and Deadline Tracking
When creating the opposition matter, RightHub will automatically generate a task containing the opposition deadline date. The deadline is critical for taking legal action, and RightHub will help you stay on track by sending automated reminders to the responsible user.
RightHub will send notifications to remind you of the opposition deadline, making sure you don’t miss any important dates.
4. Managing the Opposition Matter
Once the matter is created, you can manage it directly in RightHub. From there, you can:
- Assign tasks to other team members.
- Track the status of the opposition.
- Keep all related documents, deadlines, and communications in one centralized place.
This integrated process allows you to handle the entire trademark opposition without leaving the RightHub platform.
Conclusion
By clicking 'Create Matter', you create an opposition matter that is seamlessly integrated into RightHub’s other workflows. This keeps your trademark management efficient and organized, making sure all relevant data is captured and deadlines are tracked automatically.
