Managing and tracking IP such as patents and trademarks is an enormous legal responsibility. Misrepresent a right or fi le something inaccurately and it can cost your client or company millions of dollars. You need a system for tracking everything—fi lings, grants, due dates, oppositions, and more. Then, you need to ensure compliance with regulations, fi lings, and payments—not just in one country, but in relevant jurisdictions all over the world. But developing and maintaining that capability internally is expensive and time-consuming.
