Explore the 2026 release notes for IP Forecaster, Client Planner, and the Prokurio platform.
Explore the updatesRelease highlights published January–June 2026.
Translated documents are often longer than the source text, and some foreign associates charge based on the resulting word count. Prokurio now accounts for that with Word Expansion Factors, letting you set a multiplier per language pair for each foreign firm. The multiplier applies to the source word count automatically, giving you a more accurate translation cost estimate.
Prokurio updates exchange rates daily by default, but you can now set a specific pull schedule directly in the platform. The FX Rate Schedule lets you define exactly when rates are pulled and locked in, with your forecasts using those rates automatically. Manually entered rates are never overwritten, giving you full control over your FX data.
Firms working across multiple countries used to need a separate fee entry for every currency, turning a simple fee schedule into a maintenance burden. Now you can add multiple currency and amount combinations to a single fee entry and set a default currency in Law Firm Setup. One fee, every currency, all in one place.
Selecting countries for a trademark forecast has always worked, but when you’re dealing with a long list, it’s slow. You pick countries one by one, and if you need to start over, there is no quick way to do it. We’ve addressed both of these challenges.
Pruning Policies now include a Description field so you can note what each policy does and why, making it easier to tell similar policies apart and hand them off to teammates. The bigger addition is a new recommendation bar at the top of the Pruning Policies screen. Enter a target savings amount and the tool instantly suggests ready-to-use policy options that meet it, removing the guesswork of building a pruning strategy from scratch.
When building a patent/national forecast, the system will now automatically detect which countries in your list offer utility model protection. For each applicable country, a toggle bubble is available so you can select it as a Utility Model filing.
Are your foreign associates charging you more than they should? The only way to know is to compare. Prokurio’s benchmarking feature lets you see how your firm’s fees stack up against the market, country by country, fee by fee.
Keeping your foreign associate fee schedules up to date used to mean a lot of manual work. Now you can upload them directly into Prokurio and have them processed automatically.
Predicting prosecution costs has always been one of the hardest parts of IP forecasting. How much is left to do on a case? Is the patent office still reviewing it, or is it nearly granted? Without that context, your cost estimates are just educated guesses. Not anymore.
What used to take multiple steps across menus and spreadsheets is now simplified. The new Foreign Firms dashboard brings fee management into a single, clear view. Let’s take a look
Managing IP operations across multiple systems is a thing of the past. The IP Operations Dashboard brings your portfolio activity, upcoming deadlines, cost projections, and fee schedule updates into one screen so your team always works from the same current information.
Launching a new product or brand usually means registering domains across multiple countries. But how much will that cost over the next 5 or 10 years? The Domain Name Forecaster gives you the answer in seconds.
Setting up fees for clients with multi-country filings just got a lot more flexible. You can now configure tiered pricing that adjusts the per-country fee based on the number of countries in a filing.
From the homepage, clicking on the Patents button reveals the list of forecast types available. Clicking on the EP Validation & Unitary option will load the new dedicated forecast screen.Under Forecast Scope & Jurisdictions, we now provide multiple one-click options for Validations, Unitary, Both and the new comparison option for your forecast results. You can also toggle grant and maintenance costs in addition to UPC Opt Out.
You can now get renewal costs and the details instantly right on your homepage. On the right side, we have the new Quick Estimates section with several expandable quick access tools available. Click on Renewal Estimator and it expands, allowing you to select a Country and Number of Classes.
We’ve made a few updates to the Madrid Forecaster to make it faster and easier to build cost estimates for multi-country trademark filings.You can now select contracting parties using country groups. Just open the dropdown and choose a region to add all countries at once. Use the Add All Parties button to instantly include every contracting state, ideal for complete fee estimates and budgeting.
Fee Filters are now available, giving you more control over what’s included in your forecasts. You can now filter fees by phases and sources, making it easier to tailor forecast results to your specific needs. This update allows you to turn off fees that aren’t relevant to a particular scenario or budget.
When running a Unitary forecast, you can now see all Unitary member states in a collapsible view in the Forecast Scope & Jurisdictions section.This makes it easier to view current UPC members and quickly check which countries will be included in your forecast.
Needing to forecast filings from an application with a priority or application date that’s in the past? Now, when you enter either of these fields with a date in the past, a new toggle is displayed that allows you to filter out any past due dates and their fees from your forecast results.
When you enter a publication number for lookup, we are now double-checking the priority date against multiple public sources to ensure they match. If a discrepancy is found, the system provides a message notifying you of the anomaly that needs to be verified. This ensures you are using the correct date for the most accurate forecast results.
The Message Archive stores all important updates, fee changes, platform announcements, and system messages. Find what you need, when you need it. To access your messages, click the envelope button at the top right corner of the homepage and select “View Archive.” You can scroll through the archive manually or use the search bar.
You can now search for Saved Forecasts directly from the home screen. No need to navigate through the sidebar. This update reduces clicks and helps you instantly access previously saved forecasts whenever you need them.
On PCT application forecasts, after choosing your Receiving Office, select multiple International Searching Authorities (ISAs) to easily compare the costs of each side by side.
Chat support is now available across the entire Prokurio platform, allowing you to quickly connect with our live support team without having to return to the homepage.
One of the trickiest parts of IP cost forecasting is getting a handle on translation costs. They vary widely by language, document length, and provider, making reliable estimates a bit of a challenge.We wanted to make that easier. That’s why we’ve partnered with RWS to offer their translation rates directly within Prokurio’s IP cost planning platform.
We’re kicking off the new year with an update to EP Validation forecasts. Now, under the dropdown to select your validation countries, you have a new option to add all member states with a single click. Removing individual states is as simple as clicking the red X beside them.
In IP Forecaster, we’ve upgraded the results output to allow for customizable views. These include Hybrid, Summary, Detail (coming soon) and Timeline options. Both Summary and Timeline also allow you to toggle the cost breakdowns by phase and export your results for sharing with clients.
We’ve re-designed the Trademark National forecasting screen to make it easier to navigate and more intuitive overall. You can create new country groups on the fly, import a spreadsheet with countries and class info and toggle the various fee types (firm, foreign & PTO) on or off as needed, all on a single screen.
We enhanced the Trademark service charges to allow for the addition of Madrid Protocol service charges. These fees will then be applied to each designated country in a Madrid forecast.
For our law firm customers with patent fee structures based on the complexity of the application, we’ve added a new complexity field in Fee Maintenance, allowing the setup of Low, Medium and High complexity fees. In IP Forecaster, the complexity field is visible for a user to select a single option to have those fees applied to their forecast.
The patent publication lookup in IP Forecaster now stores a copy of the publication locally in the system upon retrieval. Additionally, the system is using multiple sources to double-check claim counts and priority date information for any discrepancies.
In Client Planner, you can now upload and store multiple individual portfolios. This allows you to keep different client plans separate or keep various portfolios for different businesses for easy budget planning and monitoring.
