Patent Litigation

Francesca is a patent litigation lawyer who works across several industries and may be involved with multiple cases at one time.

She works in a busy law firm, and can get frustrated with multiple individual systems. Collaborating with colleagues can lead to problems with version control as the most up-to-date information is not always circulated to those who actually require it.

1. The collaboration feature
   Through the collaboration feature, Francesca invites colleagues to collaborate and contribute to her cases. She chooses the access level for each collaborator. Having everyone working in the same place means that everyone is always returns to the most up-to-date information.
   
   
   
2. Time saving

Patent Owner

Hermless Corporation, a research and development company, has a large and varied patent portfolio.

The company currently uses multiple documents and spreadsheets to keep track of its patents. This means that analyses can be in different places, information can get lost, and few checks are in place to confirm that all the information in a document is correct. Patent digits can be entered incorrectly, priority dates may be wrong, and links and titles do not always match.

ClaimNote has enabled Hermless to streamline its patent handling. Hermless found the following features useful:

1. Automatic patent import
   ClaimNote’s automatic patent import system is incredibly simple to use. A list of patents can be copied and pasted, and ClaimNote automatically imports them. The import includes the patent number, priority date, original assignee, title and a link to the patent in Google patents.
   Hermless Corporation is now confident that this essential information is always correct.
   
   
   
2. Labels
   The ability to add unlimited labels to a patent means that all collaborators are kept up-to-date with developments and changes to the patent. Changes might relate to analysis, sales or licensing of patents.
