Earlier this year, Anaqua released the latest version of PATTSY WAVE® - the result of valuable customer feedback that has fueled significant enhancements that will benefit IP teams at law firms and corporations. The newest capabilities and integrations in this release will improve the efficiency of your operations and extend the benefits of PATTSY WAVE to even more of your organization.
These are key updates in this release:
The new Inventor Portal in PATTSY WAVE streamlines the processing of inventions within your organization. From submission to review to decision to award management, the portal helps manage the full lifecycle of inventions. The Inventor Portal can be tailored to meet your business needs and ensures important information is passed to appropriate individuals. Key features include:
How Law Firms Can Benefit from the New Inventor Portal
The Inventor Portal is useful for law firms in streamlining innovation processes for both law firms and their clients while ensuring sensitive information is protected. The Inventor Portal now includes an additional layer of security, making the portal even more robust for law firms. With this new enhancement, law firms that license the Inventor Portal can confidently grant their clients access to enter information about their inventions and submit patent applications directly to the firm. Law firms can then evaluate the patentability of an invention, collaborate with their clients, and convert the inventions to patent filings when they are ready.
For over 30 years the PATTSY WAVE team has collaborated with clients to develop an industry-leading IP management platform that responds to the diverse needs of IP teams. There are many other client driven enhancements included in this release.
Some of the key enhancements include:
With PATTSY WAVE's forms library, you can easily populate US patent filing forms with data from the corresponding patent records. Recognizing that the Application Data Sheet (ADS) can be complex due to its detailed list of domestic and foreign priority claims, we've added enhancements to provide an intuitive and user-friendly way to build and manage these claims across patent filings.
How the enhanced ADS generation mechanism ensures a smoother and more efficient experience for you:
PATTSY WAVE Version 8 allows organizations to assign an unlimited number of responsible parties to any matter. Teams can define the roles that apply to their organization, such as billing, supervising, or working attorney and/or formalities, prosecution paralegal, etc. The responsible parties can all be assigned to one of three priority levels, so that actions can be suppressed from an individual's dockets when applicable.
In addition to the unlimited responsible parties, specialized roles can be created and associated with the Action Categories feature. Action categories provide a mechanism to group certain actions together. This provides an easy-to-implement process for directing specific actions (e.g., foreign filing deadlines or renewal specialist) to individuals in those roles. When those individuals run their dockets, they will only see reminders that are associated with their category/role.
The release of PATTSY WAVE's APIs will provide a standard, reliable mechanism to share data with external applications. Clients will be able to retrieve bibliographic and action data from any of PATTSY WAVE's primary modules. The APIs will also make it possible to share data from PATTSY WAVE when it is installed in Anaqua's hosted environment.
The PATTSY WAVE platform is intuitive and automated with built-in IP business logic designed to make IP operations more efficient, reduce risk, and improve accuracy. This new release of PATTSY WAVE broadens the scope of Anaqua's automated docketing platform to benefit more parts of your organization. From providing your team with direct access to inventors, seamless invention review processes, mechanisms for easy data sharing, and convenient reminder systems, you can collaborate more effectively in managing IP and innovation. These changes will help your team get more out of PATTSY WAVE and bring efficiency to more of your practice and IP operations.
Additionally, for ten consecutive quarters, PATTSY WAVE has earned top marks as a leader in Intellectual Property Management Software from G2, the world's largest and most trusted software marketplace.
