Thomson IP Manager

Increase the value of your IP portfolio

In today’s highly competitive IP environment, your business and IP strategies must be aligned to maximize the value of your intellectual property assets. Thomson IP Manager®, an enterprise-level intellectual asset management solution from Thomson IP Management Services, gives you the power to enable collaboration between departments, speed decision making and protect those critical assets.

Revitalize your IP management with improved IP processes and collaboration

As IP has come to be recognized as the leading asset by many organizations, it’s moved from the purview of the legal department to front and center, encompassing numerous departments and even outside counsel.  With this heightened prominence and expanded need for collaboration, it is more vital than ever for you to have well-crafted IP processes that can be enforced across the organization.  The Process ArchitectTM within Thomson IP Manager lets you:

  • Design, implement and manage IP processes that are tailored to the specific needs of your organization so that you can move more quickly from innovation to market
  • Unite key stakeholders throughout all stages of the innovation and product management life cycle
  • Provide end-to-end management of your intellectual assets, from R&D to filings, prosecution, grants, conflicts, licensing and more
  • Accelerate the communication process with workflow-driven automated forms and tools
  • Create a clear understanding of your IP portfolio
  • Implement more structured processes for patent maintenance and trademark renewal decision making

Enhance the quality of decision making across the enterprise

Thomson IP Manager houses all critical IP information in a central database so authorized individuals can access must-have data and make informed decisions. With Thomson IP Manager’s automated tools, you can:

  • Access your portfolio information via a secure browser-based application
  • Consolidate information and documents on patents, trademarks, designs, disclosures, agreements and other business-critical records
  • Ensure early involvement of essential parties in the R&D and product management processes
  • Easily configure the application to your users’ preferences with the Configuration Engine, including currency and language

Drive new business and revenue streams

With Thomson IP Manager, you’ll be better equipped to extract value from your intellectual assets and generate new business by:

  • Effectively and systematically evaluating all aspects of your IP portfolio
  • Identifying IP rights ripe for out-licensing
  • Making build vs. buy decisions in conjunction with R&D
  • Involving key parties early in the monetization process, such as Legal, Finance and R&D

Streamline processes to improve portfolio management activities

Thomson IP Manager allows you to work more efficiently and productively by eliminating a wide range of manual, repetitive tasks. Easily configurable software and role-based features help streamline the portfolio management process for all stakeholders so you can:

  • Access the data you need without requesting IT assistance
  • File applications more easily with pre-populated forms
  • Automate emails, notifications and form letters
