"A whole new world has been opened up to me and I really appreciate it. It's been something I've wanted - to be able to manage all of our IP portfolios globally in a central system."
“They couldn’t give us status updates on our records, they couldn’t tell us what was what. That right there was a huge red flag."
"We are on a cultural journey to inspire and expand meaningful innovation. Everyone can be an innovator, regardless of role."
"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 are committed to maintaining quality and efficiency, in part through the use of IP practice management technology that offers the tools we need to maintain our competitive edge and our long-standing reputation for superior client service. After an exhaustive search and investigation into many IP docketing and practice management solutions, it became evident that Anaqua’s platform was the right technology to achieve these goals and meet the ever changing needs of our clients."
"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 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."
"With our focus on innovation, we needed a system to enable our IP team to be highly efficient in handling the growth in inventions and patent filings. After extensive review, we selected ANAQUA Express. Anaqua's streamlined, best-practices implementation was also important in our decision."
"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."
"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."
"We want to move to a new level of operational efficiency that was just not possible with our existing systems. With ANAQUA, we can significantly improve our efficiency by taking advantage of more electronic PTO interaction and utilizing the integrated document and email management to go paperless. As a bonus, we can also enhance client engagement with online client services not previously possible."
“Unifying all of TEL’s systems and processes, which differed in each region and at each site, has been our decade-long challenge. We were trying to establish one global standard workflow which could be used across all of our sites globally. Anaqua’s baseline workflows are a great match for our purpose. We can adapt our internal processes to match Anaqua’s standard flows and then configure Anaqua’s software to meet our specific business needs. With ANAQUA, we have achieved our goals of unified systems and processes, enhanced collaboration, and improved business value and Return on Investment.”
"By integrating patent and portfolio management data in ANAQUA, the businesses are much better served with increased visibility of real-time portfolio information, efficiencies in portfolio reviews, and more accurate forecasting capability."
"The average or even above-average patent counsel will not live up to Ingersoll Rand’s expectations today."
