Case Study
Global Pharmaceutical Company
Opportunity
Our professionals helped a global pharmaceutical company following their $50B acquisition.
The company initiated consolidation of their IP departments.
It included the implementation of a single consolidated IAM (intellectual asset maangement) system.
We were engaged to conduct a process review and provide recommendations to help the client as they required support to finalize the IP system design.
We were subsequently engaged to lead a global process harmonization initiative.
#1
The assessment identified fragmented processes across global IP sites, and recommended the client first harmonize their patent processes before continuing with system design.
#2
We led the global process harmonization effort. Multiple off-site and virtual workshops were conducted involving 40+ patent attorneys and paralegals across the globe.
#3
We helped the client harmonize and optimize 19 (many with multiple sub-processes) different patent lifecycle process, identifying process owners and metrics.
Results
The processes led to detailed functional design specifications that were used to design the screens, workflows and reports within the consolidated intellectual property management system.
