Minesoft’s PatDocs delivers an all-in-one solution for removing some of this workload by automating form creation, delivering patent PDFs and machine translations instantly, and generating sharable family tree maps showing priority information.

Family Tree Excel export
Family Tree exports are great for sharing priority information, parent and child relationships, and legal status information.
When exporting Family Tree data into an Excel file, it is now possible to choose which fields to include and change the order
of the columns in the spreadsheet. Previous selections will be remembered and automatically input the next time the Excel export fields are opened.
