FAQs
1.
Why hire an external expert consultant instead of evaluating IP software by myself?
While many teams start evaluating software independently, the process is often time-consuming and overwhelming. With over seven years of hands-on experience working with top-tier providers and having reviewed 100+ IP tools—including IP Management, Brand Protection, and Trademark solutions—we provide insights based on a global vendor comparison helping you avoid costly missteps and save months of effort. Unlike generic tech consultants, we specialise exclusively in intellectual property software, offering insights from real client challenges and market developments to ensure your chosen solution aligns with your needs.
2.
What types of clients benefit the most from your services?
Our services are ideal for IP professionals who’ve struggled to find the right software despite multiple demos, particularly lawyers and teams committed to implementing a new solution soon or switching from underperforming providers. We work with a diverse range of clients from large Latin American corporations to established European law firms, especially those managing significant trademark portfolios.
3.
What are your service fees?
Our fees are project-based. After a free initial consultation and preliminary market review, we provide a customised proposal only if we’re confident we can help you achieve your goals—otherwise, there’s no charge. We also offer one-off Targeted Sessions (1-1.5 hours) and a free 30-minute preliminary software optimisation review.
4.
Do you sell your own software or promote specific providers?
No. We don’t own or sell software, and we never favour providers unless they’re the right fit. Our role is to provide expert advice and unbiased recommendations so you can make an informed and confident decision.
5.
How do you remain unbiased in recommendations?
We remain completely provider-neutral by focusing solely on your unique needs and challenges. Our recommendations are based on core criteria—enhanced by years of market experience—ensuring that we meet your requirements without favouring any vendor.
6.
Do you consider niche providers or only mainstream options?
We investigate both global players and regional “hidden” providers, often uncovering niche tools better suited to specific needs. Through confidential demos and continuous research—including early access to roadmaps and features—we’ve reviewed 100+ solutions, ensuring you see options beyond the usual suspects.
7.
How do you stay updated on trends like AI in IP software?
We engage continuously with providers and analyse emerging tools to cut through the hype. For trends like AI, we focus on identifying features that genuinely add value, ensuring you invest in tools that deliver real benefits instead of extra costs.
