"We think of our intellectual property strategy as a success if we maintain freedom to operate in core technologies and businesses." The invention process within any organization is arguably one of the most critical competitive elements.

Innovator can manage this process by facilitating faster throughput; coordinating the interplay between business, legal, and technical groups; making better “kill” decisions. As part of this module, the appropriate forms (invention disclosure, etc.) are included to capture relevant information:

External disclosures
Country-specific invention information
Co-inventors
Relevant dates

In addition, IP-specific analysis question sets are configured to benchmark your potential IP against your organization’s criteria and impart consistency in your decision-making process.

To facilitate “accountability”, an automatic IP-specific workflow process routes potential IP to any number of various Portfolio Managers, IP Attorneys, Patent Agents, and Reviewers—all while creating tasks that document where the IP is in the process, idle time, and next steps. Further collaboration and sharing is available with our newly added Native Language Support and Translation.

Ancillary procedures such as, IP activity monitoring, e-signature witnessing, notarization, defensive publication, and security levels further complete the robustness of this configuration module. Find out more about our partnership with IP.com
