How to Modernize International Patent Filing and Prosecution 

Increasing digitalization and modernization of legal operations have disrupted traditional ways of managing international patent filing and prosecution. By seizing on the opportunities offered by new technologies, including integrated global services, IP leaders can save valuable time, budget, and resources, as we discuss in our latest IP Guide. 

The old ways of managing international patent filing and prosecution are becoming increasingly outdated in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven work environments. As legal operations become ever more digitalized and modernized, IP teams that still rely on traditional networks and last-generation email processes risk expending precious time and internal resources managing routine but time-consuming administrative tasks, from docketing to invoice management.    

By centralizing the patent filing process through one trusted IP support specialist, such as Questel, multinationals can save time, build consistency, minimize risk, optimize in-house resources, achieve strategic oversight—and realize immediate and significant cost savings.
