DATA MANAGEMENT

We have created a system to manage Intellectual Property ("IP") case record data that frees up significant professional time for in-house IP departments as well as delivering an efficient management process that allows us to effectively manage companies' IP portfolios for them. Client remote access to the data is secure and is achieved either through Internet Explorer or by direct dial. This can replace entirely the need for clients to maintain and manage their own databases.

Alternatively, we can physically replicate case record data we hold onto clients' own IT systems at agreed intervals providing more useful data than is perhaps already available as the replication allows for access to the IP portfolio by file number, application number, in-house reference as well as chronologically access and, most importantly, an ability to sort data by "deadline" date. The data replicated also includes all correspondence issued and received by us on cases and therefore the progress and status of our case work can be remotely monitored at all times. This arrangement is particularly valuable to clients operating in different time zones.
