For nearly three decades, AutoDocs has been the trusted force behind innovation in patent prosecution technology. Our mission was to help law firms and corporate IP teams work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence. Our flagship platform, IPDAS (Intellectual Property Data Automation Solution), brings automation, accuracy, and intelligence to every stage of the prosecution process. IPDAS eliminates redundancies, ensures compliance, and streamlines workflows from filing to final approval. With a proven track record, continuous evolution, and deep expertise in the IP landscape, AutoDocs empowers teams to achieve new levels of efficiency, consistency, and control in their day-to-day operations.
From day one, our vision has been to create a unified, indispensable tool that simplifies and strengthens patent prosecution. And we’ve never stopped improving! Technology evolves, so does IPDAS. We are continually progressing, staying ahead of the curve and giving our users the tools they need to be effective, efficient, and always one step ahead.
From humble beginnings to a trusted industry leader, AutoDocs remains true to its roots. We innovate with purpose, we are guided by our users, and we redefine what’s possible in patent prosecution.
AutoDocs began not as a business plan, but as a shared idea around a dining room table. A conversation between patent prosecution professionals who knew there had to be a better way. Frustrated by the repetitive, time-consuming nature of filings and documentation, they envisioned a smarter system that could bring automation and clarity to the complex world of IP management. That idea became IPDAS. What started as a proprietary solution inside a major Washington, D.C. law firm soon grew into something much bigger. In 1998, AutoDocs LLC was founded to bring IPDAS to other law firms and corporate IP departments, helping teams everywhere work more efficiently and confidently.
IPDAS is my favorite part of my day.
We LOVE IPDAS! Thank you for all your support over the last few years in helping us get up to speed!
Thank you for all the amazing service and programming that IPDAS team provide us with – we are heavily relying on IPDAS for everything everyday.

It fulfills all the Citation requirements and allows us to make USPTO filings with just the click of a button—saving us valuable time and effort. Additionally, IPDAS stays current with all the changes implemented by the USPTO, quickly adapting their system to meet new requirements, which gives us great confidence in our filings. We appreciate the fantastic support provided by the IPDAS team. They are always ready to assist and possess extensive knowledge of patent processes, making them an invaluable resource for us. IPDAS is a vital asset for our patent management needs and we highly recommend it!
We’ve relied on IPDAS for over 25 years, and it has become an essential part of our practice. The software is reliable, intuitive, and tailored for IP professionals. Just as important, AutoDocs has always been a true partner—their team is responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to our success. We deeply value the relationship we’ve built together.
I just wanted to thank you for the IPDAS for Foreign practice!!! I’ve been using IPDAS for foreign practice for – oh my gosh – I think about 15 years now? It is AWESOME. I’ve only been using the ePCT interface for about the last three years though. And the ePCT interface is COOL. In addition to using IPDAS to file PCT applications, I use it for so much more! I have trained many brand-new paralegals on foreign practice and added guidance on the differences in country laws within the templates – I love the pop-ups! IPDAS can be an incredible tool not just to get the data correct, but to remind paralegals of potential deadlines if the custom templates are thoughtfully constructed. Anyway, I wanted to thank you. You have made my life easier and made me look good for YEARS. Thank you!!!!
