PATEV Assistant – A program tailored especially to the needs of medium-size companies: Improve capacities in patent matters without own specialists? It can be done!

Are you experiencing bottlenecks when processing invention reports? Does the formal work associated with patents tend to be left undone and then, all at once, becomes extremely urgent? Do you need a clear structure for inventor remuneration? Do you want to be able to concentrate on the most important patent applications when monitoring competitors’ activities?

The program named PATEV Assistant provides answers to these types of questions associated with IP management. Tailored to the specific needs of medium-size companies, even modest IP portfolios can be managed expertly and reliably by your own staff. In this concept, experienced patent specialists at PATEV assist management and act as a highly competent complement to development departments. They can take over assignments in patent management, case by case and on a temporary basis. They also solve special or acute problems that cannot be managed by the clients themselves.

“We see the program as an on-call assistant. We come in whenever our expertise is needed, stay as long as necessary and transfer patent management skills to the customer with in-service training. From business viewpoint, this solution makes good sense for companies since they need not establish their own capacities. They can obtain specialized knowledge that’s right to the point, conserve personnel resources and easily estimate funding needs for our patent-related services.” Those are the advantages as described by PATEV CEO Dr. Edelbert Häfele. PATEV Assistant focuses primarily on the fields of administration, consulting and reporting.
