IP Management Tools

Ongoing management and development of the IP portfolio eventually requires the support of IP management software.

There are many available tools of varying complexity and ease of use. Of course, the key is to have best-in-class IP management processes established and then to use a software tool that best complements your processes.

Prompts and reminders for key (prosecution) events, to reporting functionality showing how agreements relate to specific IP and collaborations etc, can enhance productivity and value in the IP portfolios.


I would not recommend building your own but choosing the right tool for you and your circumstances can be overwhelming. Independent expert advice and vendor selection can make the process much easier.

I was very confused about what unregistered trademark and registered trademarks were, IP protection and simply how to protect my business and IP assets.

“It is always a delight working with John. He has been an invaluable resource to our business as we build our intellectual property asset base. We have successfully received registration for trademarks and patents while following an IP strategy developed by John.

“I was fortunate enough to work with John relatively early-on in my career and look back on that time extremely fondly. John is an exceptional and instinctive mentor and coach who always brings a wealth of business and IP experience to any situation with understanding and compassion.
