"We wanted to move from our current in-house system to a new generation of patent management software. After a thorough evaluation, we selected the ANAQUA IAM solution due to its superior ability to meet our primary objective of providing a user friendly and efficient workplace for professionals in our global patent organization."
"ANAQUA is accessible to everyone, from attorneys to inventors. We're able to configure the system to provide a rules-based environment for the inventors so they have a keen understanding of what we're looking for and what ultimately maps to our core goals. ANAQUA takes the guess work out of the equation for our inventors, streamlining the process so we end up with inventions that result in patents."
"IP is a critical strategic asset for Microsoft. We have deployed the Anaqua IAM system to manage our worldwide IP portfolio and we are very pleased with the results. Our partnership with Anaqua is enabling Microsoft to move to the next level in strategic IP management."
"Anaqua is becoming an industry standard, Many of our clients migrated to Anaqua after we did. When asked, we tell others in the industry that it’s the best IP management system out there."
"Anaqua is the best data management system I've ever used. The applications are endless - it's not just for docketing."
"Our inventors were unhappy with the inflexibility and lack of usability of the new system. For this and other reasons, we are very glad to move back to ANAQUA. We were also impressed with the fast implementation process. We are a small team and could not afford to dedicate significant resources to the effort. Anaqua was able to complete the whole project in six weeks, including data migration and training."
“Two weeks after we launched the ANAQUA system all of the staff was working on it and fully productive in the system.“
"We have made a significant transition from a situation in which we were using multiple IP systems and procedures. Now the ANAQUA system is helping us implement common best practices for our IP management across the entire company."
“ANAQUA has made a huge difference to our renewal process, We can now see the status of each of our renewals, along with the external counsel we are using, very easily. We can bulk instruct our external counsel, run reports on renewal dates, and are easily able to monitor the status of our renewals. Our process is now streamlined, efficient and simple."
“The ANAQUA platform has truly changed the way the team works, Previously we had to manually send separate emails for large filing programs and then index each email into a separate electronic filing system. Now ANAQUA automatically does this for us.”
“ANAQUA has greatly simplified the pipeline process using search and clearance automation including reviewing of searches and reporting back to internal lawyers."
"Leading the ANAQUA IAM project has been an exciting foray into the IP space and created valuable opportunities to connect with R&D professionals in our businesses and help them pipeline their innovation streams into a common process."
"We needed a system that would allow us to access and analyze our portfolio more easily and at the same time support close collaboration with our law firms. We looked at several tools in the marketplace and were very impressed with Anaqua's potential to support collaboration with the wider community involved in our global trademark activity. The implementation of the system went smoothly even with our large portfolio."
"We realized that our current in-house IP systems could not sustain the continued growth in our patent portfolio. We were pleased to find a commercial application, ANAQUA, which can deliver the automation we need as well as the tools to actively manage our portfolio and provide management reports."
"We sustain success—for our business and the people we serve—by staying true to key tenets upon which our company was founded over a century ago: innovative care and a desire to make a meaningful difference in all that we do."
