IP Portfolio Management
Optimize your intellectual property assets with our comprehensive IP portfolio management solutions, ensuring maximum protection and strategic advantage for your business.
One Integrated IP Ecosystem for End-to-End IP Portfolio Management
Through our Equinox IP management software, Questel is building an integrated IP ecosystem that connects all our patent and trademark technologies, services, and solutions. If you use our IP Services Portal to send instructions, PAVIS Connect to order patent and trademark renewals, or our Markify Clearance & Watch Platform, you can now access data, order services, and track progress and results directly from your Equinox IPMS—with more API connectors coming soon.
The Most Connected IPMS
Mr Sei Aoki
Chief Manager, Intellectual Property Portfolio Design Management Department
"Questel IPMS has the highest affinity with our operations and, thanks to significant improvements in the system's response time, work is now stress-free. Thanks to the weekly meetings that we set up with Questel during the project, we were able to ask questions directly and continuously get information on the use of the IPMS, which was very effective in quickly resolving issues."
"[Our] previous IP systems were good for individual functionality but not integrated well or at all, so when we started looking for a new IPMS, we thought: Let's see if we can find an IP management system that can do everything we need."
“We wanted a system that balanced functionality and cost with built-in document management, and we found that in Equinox Corporate. Other systems we’ve used have been slow to adapt and not very responsive, but the team has been brilliant in helping us set up the system and supporting us since.”
“We wanted a secure cloud-based system that we could use to manage our IP assets. Before getting Equinox Corporate, all our deadlines were monitored by outside counsel, and we used an Excel spreadsheet to log our IP assets. The main factors that led us to choose the Equinox IPMS were competitive pricing, comprehensive functionality, and ease of use.”
We established our IP Services Portal to enable clients to directly submit requests online for international filing via the PCT and Paris Convention routes, European patent grants and validations, as well as filing-ready patent translations. Now, these services and more can be ordered from your chosen Equinox IPMS with all data and instructions synchronized across the platforms. Find out more
Thanks to the integration with our renewals technology, including PAVIS Connect, Questel’s IP renewals services can now be accessed directly in our Equinox IP management software. The connector not only enables clients to manage and track their IP renewals through their chosen Equinox IPMS, but also utilizes AI-based automation to generate a huge boost in efficiency.

Benefit from seamless trademark watches in your Equinox IPMS with Markify Watch integration. Markify Watch harnesses powerful algorithms to identify and filter data for each specific search. Now, the results of these searches can be synchronized directly with the relevant case in your Equinox IPMS, upholding accuracy and removing the need for time-consuming manual updates. Find out more
Access official Office data directly from your chosen Equinox IPMS to create new cases and compare your portfolio against official records, improving accuracy and saving administrative time. Our PTO import function enables users to search and download case by priority, application, or publication number or title, while our PTO data comparison service checks all active patent and trademark cases in your system against the latest official office data every week.
