FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LOS ANGELES – December 20, 2007 – The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued Patent Number 7,302,433 for Deadlines On Demand’s court rules Change Notification Service (CNS), entitled ”Method and Apparatus for Updating Rules and Transmitting Change Notifications.” Deadlines On Demand, LLC (“DOD”), the leading automated court rules-based calendaring service on the Internet, launched CNS in early 2005 to alert their users of recent court rules updates which may impact deadlines on their calendars. This service automatically sends emails to DOD users when rule changes impact one or more of the deadlines created by their DOD date calculations. The CNS also provides a convenient link to rerun each search that was affected.
CNS emails provide timely notification for court rules updates that may be descriptive, authoritative or may change users’ actual deadline dates. The service helps attorneys maintain accurate court deadlines, which is important because failure to properly calculate court dates associated with changing rules is one of the leading causes of legal malpractice claims.
A wholly owned subsidiary of CompuLaw, LLC, DOD is designed to help solo practitioners and small firms save time and protect themselves from legal calendar/deadline-related errors. Today, more than 25,000 legal professionals are registered DOD users, with thousands of deadline calculations performed to date.
“Our unique CNS technology is designed with the busy attorney in mind, those who don’t have the time to constantly check and re-check court rules for updates or changes,” said David J. Kalmick, president and CEO of CompuLaw. “DOD has sophisticated CNS servers that not only monitor all user-researched dates but also determine if any rules changes affect those calculations. Legal professionals know that they can trust CompuLaw and our reliable, accurate rules-based technology.”
DOD incorporates CompuLaw’s extensive library of rules databases, which includes jurisdictions in all 50 states, including State, Federal, Appellate, Supreme Court, Bankruptcy, Probate and Family Law and much more. CompuLaw’s rules database library is the largest and most comprehensive available. For the complete list of CompuLaw rule databases, visit www.compulaw.com.
