Your Promotion from IP Manager to IP Master

In every phase of the life cycle of your intellectual property rights, you have to take the right decisions, at the right time, based on the right data, and considering at all times possible conflicts with third party rights or actions.

For decades, "managing" your intellectual property rights meant dealing with a wide variety of providers, processing the same data in different locations and operating a patchwork of systems and technologies that were never built to work in an integrated way. Up to today ...

IPRHQ centralizes all your Intellectual Property rights and their protection, commercialization and enforcement processes:

Comprehensive IP Searches

When creating a new brand, technology, design, or registering a new domain name or social media-ID, it is important to consider existing third party rights.

Relying on data relating to trademarks, patents, designs, domain names and many more, IPRHQ provides you with relevant data in near-real time, assisting you in so-called "knock-out" searches, comprehensive availability investigations, "in-use" and prior art searches depending on the actual use case you have in mind.

The platform allows for plenty of possible configurations, depending on the data sources: the countries in which trademarks, patents or designs have been protected, the offices having registered or granted the IP right, the names of the applicants/owners, ...

And once you are happy with the configuration, you can convert that search configuration into a periodical watch report.

Results tailored to your risk profile

Since analyzing Search or Watch results can be a tedious task, the AI Analytics engine of IPRHQ.com classifies these results according to your own risk profile.

This way, you can focus on those elements in the Search or Watch results that are considered a high risk to your business, saving you numerous hours of reviewing results.

Furthermore, the platform allows you to immediate initiate various types of enforcement actions. Drafting a cease & desist letter, a notice & takedown request, or even a complaint under the UDRP: IPRHQ.com is content rich and comes well-equipped to cater for your IP enforcement needs.

Establish and manage your IP Portfolio

Establishing your IP portfolio on IPRHQ has never been easier: using its Search functionality, you can easily indicate which IP rights, domain names, online presences on marketplaces or social media platforms are yours.

Based on this collection, it will be even easier to search for counterfeit goods online, phishing, but also take actions in relation to "offline" infringements, like filing oppositions against third party trademark applications, or draft manufacturing, distribution and other IP-centric agreements.

Furthermore, you can indicate which parties are entitled to use your IP in commerce, and link your IP with the products and services you are offering.

Manage your relations

The Relations function is an intrinsic component of a company's IP portfolio, as it sheds a light on which third parties are entitled to use the company's IP rights in commerce.

IPRHQ.com facilitates the establishment and management of your portfolio of relations, being parties involved in the manufacturing, marketing, import or export, distribution and sale of your products and services.

This list can be elaborate with third parties with whom you have entered into co-existence agreements, or with whom you have exchanged waivers or unilateral declarations relating to your IP.

Consolidating these Relations within IPRHQ.com has another important benefit, as the platform allows you to monitor on whether or not these Relations effectively comply with the arrangements that have been made. And take immediate action if this does not appear to be the case.

A final category of "Relations" are competitors: also here, IPRHQ.com allows you to create specific reports on actions taken by your competitors in terms of new products or services they are launching, allowing for additional actions in relation to IP enforcement if needed be.

A Product and Service-centric approach

Intellectual property rights are important value drivers for the products and services offered by every business.

For this reason, IPRHQ.com provides you with the possibility to link the IP rights in your Portfolio with each product or services that is brought to market.

In addition, you can indicate which of your Relations assist you in this process, creating a comprehensive triangle between your IP rights, relations and the products and services that are commercialized.

Another benefit of this approach is that it is far easier to invoke a comprehensive set of IP rights that are infringed whenever IPRHQ.com detects the sale of counterfeit products.

Structured Watch and Monitoring Reports

As with Searches, IPRHQ.com can create structured Watch and Monitoring reports over all available sources, being trademarks, patents, designs, domain names, and online presences of the company.

Each element in the report immediately provides access to the data that is part of the report, being the tramark record in the respective Patent & Trademark office database, the targeted domain name or online search result.

Furthermore, users can determine whether our AI Analytics engine should provide them with a classification of the search result, an indication of the risk (as determined in the context of the company's Risk Profile) and - in case of domain names or online search results - a summary of what has been detected.

Users are free to set the periodicity of these reports, and determine whether or not the export of these reports should contain the analysis made by our AI engine.

Swift Enforcement actions at your fingertips

Where Search or Watch reports contain unwanted results for the user, IPRHQ.com allows them to immediately initiate an Enforcement matter on the platform itself.

IPRHQ.com makes it easy to initiate the right actions on the basis of actual and comprehensive data, both in relation to the IP rights invoked and the targeted infringement.

Actions that can be taken include but are not limited to

oppositions in relation to trademarks, patents or designs;
cease and desist letters or notice and takedown requests;
file phishing reports with domain name registrars, web hosting companies, law enforcement authorities, search enginges, etc.;

draft complaints under the UDRP;
and many more.

IPRHQ.com's dedicated Word Add-in not only provides the relevant data, but also includes many template letters, documents, and specific paragraphs to be inserted, based on the needs and requirements of the user.

Protecting your valuable intellectual property rights against third party threats has never been easier.

Challenging the Iron Triangle of Customer Service

When engaging with a service provider, especially law firms, clients are often confronted with the tradeoff that is summarised as “good, fast, cheap: choose two”: cheap and good unlikely results in a fast delivery; if it must be cheap and fast, it probably won’t be any good; and if it must be good and fast, it is probably not cheap.

For this reason, most law firms focus on quality first, then speed of delivery, which more often than not results in invoices based on “time & materials” over which clients have extremely limited control.

This “Iron Triangle” incited us to rethink the way how we engage and interact with clients.

Entrepreneur-oriented Legal Solutions

Our entrepreneurial focus radiates in each and every aspect of how we assist our clients: while most law firms segment their services in vertical offerings, like “Corporate”, “Commercial”, “IP”, “HR”, etc., we have shifted towards a more horizontal approach. In order to focus on what matters most in each and every step of your growth and the corresponding challenges you face, we have developed multidisciplinary methodologies and comprehensive “service containers” that allow for fast implementation at a reasonable cost.

The benefits of such approach for clients are manifold: first of all, clients do not lose time, since they only need to explain their challenges once to their single point of contact. Second, there is no need to have a panoply of experts around the table, each dealing with their own segment, which subsequently requires coordination and consolidated. Which, eventually, also increases costs.

Technology-enabled Professional Services

Dedicating more resources on a matter is the most common solution for a traditional law firm if they need to increase speed whilst maintaining quality. Since the “time” factor is not scalable, and the “traditional” way of doing things do not necessarily produce the right outcome, we are investing heavily in technology that allow us to achieve better results.

By standardizing and, hence, digitizing processes, we are able to significantly reduce delivery times:

instead of relying on “templates”, our document generation platforms allow us to generate comprehensive, high quality deliverables that are truly tailored to our clients’ needs;
some of the other systems we have (co-)developed use algorithms, artificial intelligence and machine learning components, which enable us to dedicate more time to more complex issues. By automating certain steps in the development of certain deliverables – like cease and desist letters, notice and takedown requests, complaints, etc. – we are able to significantly reduce the total cost for clients.

Hence, we are able to increase speed of delivery, effectively scale our services, keep a full focus on quality, whilst keeping cost under control.

Product Focused and Result Driven

Turning “services” into “products” is something we are passionate about, so we can step away from the traditional “time & materials” approach. Our clients know what they are paying for and how much.

When bringing all of the above factors together, we are able to provide high quality, bespoke deliverables and results within a short timeframe at reasonable and, very often, fixed fees or – in part – fees that are commensurate with the client’s success.
