Which maintenance fees come due, the full expirations for any year, and every patent in a patent family. Free previews show the first 10. - Export any list
Every complete list as a CSV: number, title, dates and status, ready for a spreadsheet. Every term end a company holds, from its page or across your watchlist. - Fee-deadline calendar

What that looks like. You watch a competitor with 400 patents. In March,
13 of their maintenance fees come due. Free tells you that 13 are due and when they lapse if
unpaid. Pro sends the alert within hours of publication and lists all 13: number, title, status, due date,
and the date each one lapses at the end of its grace period.
Cancel anytime. Your watchlist stays; alerts continue for your first 3 watched companies.
