Modernizing Your IP Team for Maximum Impact

Sample Image

Traditional in-house IP functions often rely on ingrained, inertia-driven systems and legacy processes. Inventors hit frequent bottlenecks, stifling innovation and frustrating organizational goals. Internal customers and other stakeholders see legal as gatekeepers rather than collaborators.

This white paper challenges that status quo, offering a framework to rethink how IP teams engage with the business by aligning around customer centricity. We outline a modern approach to IP function, putting people, processes, and technology at the center of a modern, innovation-ready system. This paper invites you to reimagine disclosure workflows, enhance business fluency, and adopt tech solutions that serve the entire organization, not just legal.

  • Customer-Centric IP Starts With People

    A high-performing IP team prioritizes cross-functional relationships and alignment with business goals to build trust and engagement into every interaction.

  • Rethink Processes with Stakeholders in Mind

    Friction-filled invention disclosures and ad hoc workflows slow innovation and create bottlenecks. Process mapping can reveal where inventors drop off–and how to bring them back.

  • Tech Should Serve Everyone, Not Just Legal

    From dynamic disclosure tools to real-time dashboards, the right tech improves visibility, synergy, and stakeholder engagement.
