Intellectual Property Management Software With R&D-Specific Use Cases (IP) Reviews and Ratings

Intellectual Property Management Software enables enterprises to manage multiple aspects of intellectual property (IP) assets, including invention disclosures, patent portfolios, trade secrets, trademarks and copyrights, as well as the operational legal activities associated with patent prosecution, partnerships, agreements and licensing. This research focuses on enterprise IP software solutions with well-defined use cases for R&D organizations. Software vendors in the IP management space are increasingly incorporating R&D-specific use cases into solutions that traditionally cater to legal and financial departments. Our research has identified representative software capabilities that allow R&D organizations to actively participate in IP-related workflows and decision-making — effectively bringing automation to upstream R&D activities, such as IP generation, technology scouting and idea management.
