- Julia Maret
Head of Intellectual Property Science
Bayer Crop Science
Bayer Crop Science, a global leader in regenerative agriculture, needed a more agile and integrated approach to managing intellectual property. With a small team of IP scientists embedded in research, the team faced several challenges:
"Without our innovation management technology, including ideaPoint™, we couldn't do the work we are doing right now - and certainly not with the efficiency and quality that we achieve."
- Julia Maret
Head of Intellectual Property Science
Bayer Crop Science
To meet these challenges, Bayer adopted Anaqua's ideaPoint™ innovation management platform in 2020. The platform became a cornerstone of their IP operations, enabling:
"With all the new tools being developed - particularly around generative AI - there's an opportunity for IP leaders to innovate in the IP space too."
