The pace of patent applications is constantly increasing, all around the globe. This is particularly true in the prospering countries in the Asia-Pacific region. They long ago realized how important it is to protect their technologies over the long term. Consequently, their investments in patentable, in-house developments are high.

In this global jungle it is becoming ever more difficult for companies to actually grasp their own IP situation and keep it abreast of the times. Required here are new or supplementary IP management methods and tools. One aim is to quickly identify new technology that has patent potential and to keep the company’s own projects from colliding with existing patents.
