What are Projects?

Projects in Codex are dedicated workspaces that allow you to group related IP records and work on them together with shared context.

Instead of working on individual trademarks, patents, or copyrights separately, you can:

  • Add multiple IP records into a single project

  • Define how responses should be generated

  • Run queries across all selected records

Once a project is selected, Codex understands the context and applies your instructions automatically — so you don't need to repeat inputs every time.

Why use Projects?

When managing a large IP portfolio, it's common to:

  • Switch between different trademarks or patents repeatedly

  • Re-enter the same instructions

  • Lose context across queries

Projects solve this by:

  • Keeping related IP records in one place

  • Allowing you to define reusable instructions

  • Enabling queries across multiple records at once

For example, you can:

  • Analyse all Class 25 trademarks together

  • Set instructions like "keep responses concise" or "focus on renewal risk"

  • Get consistent outputs without repeating context

This makes your workflow faster, more structured, and more efficient.

What can you do with Projects?

With Projects, you can:

  • Run queries across multiple IP records simultaneously

  • Generate summaries, insights, and portfolio reports

  • Identify lapsing or at-risk trademarks across a group

  • Maintain consistent response formats and tone

  • Reduce manual effort and repetition

How Projects work

Projects combine:

  • Selected IP records → your working dataset

  • Custom instructions → how Codex should respond

  • AI context → shared understanding across all queries

Once set up:

  • Every query runs within the selected project

  • Instructions are automatically applied

  • Responses are tailored to your defined preferences

Step-by-Step: Create a Project

Follow these steps to create a project in Codex:

1. Go to Codex from the left-hand navigation in the IPR module.

2. Click on Create Project.

3. A side panel will open. Fill in:

  • Project Name

  • Description

  • Custom Instructions (e.g., tone, format, level of detail)

4. Click Next.

5. Select up to 50 IP records.

6. Click Create Project.

Using a Project

Once your project is created:

  1. Select the project in Codex.

  2. Start asking questions or running analysis.

You can:

  • Ask for portfolio summaries across all IP records

  • Identify upcoming renewals or at-risk marks

  • Generate structured outputs based on your instructions

All responses will automatically:

  • Follow your defined instructions

  • Consider all selected records

  • Stay consistent across queries

Custom Instructions (Best Practices)

Custom instructions help control how Codex responds.

You can define:

  • Response length (short / detailed)

  • Format (bullet points, draft format, etc.)

  • Focus areas (renewal risk, opposition status, filing deadlines, etc.)

This ensures:

  • Consistent outputs

  • Faster workflows

  • Reduced need for repeated prompts

AI Capabilities in Projects

Within a project, AI works across all selected IP records to:

  • Understand shared context

  • Generate consolidated portfolio insights

  • Identify patterns, gaps, and renewal risks

  • Provide structured and consistent responses

This allows you to move from record-by-record analysis to portfolio-level intelligence.

Conclusion

Projects in Codex help you move from fragmented IP record handling to a structured, context-driven workflow. By grouping records, defining instructions, and leveraging AI across all selected data, you can streamline analysis, improve consistency, and significantly reduce manual effort in managing your IP portfolio.
