What were some common market challenges you heard from customers that led to this release? 

 

IP professionals are looking for better reporting, more visibility into their IP portfolio, tools to help automate IP processes, and cost forecasting. They need robust reporting and decision-making tools to help IP teams at each stage of the IP lifecycle. Users can now visualize their data in various ways with the new Annuity Decision Report™ and forecast their decisions on how they’re going to manage their business and filing strategy.

 

We know that before COVID, many law firms were working with electronic signatures, having clients use them, and then getting partners to sign off. Working remote brought to bear how important that functionality was which is why we enhanced our e-signature functionality with DocuSign and Adobe Sign. This release takes everything we had in AQX to the next level!

 

What would you like to highlight about this release?

 

AQX is a fully connected platform that is designed to make the day-to-day of managing IP more efficient and automated. In this release, users have powerful collaboration tools with Anaqua Connect, robust decision-making analytics at their fingertips, and the ability to reduce costs with fully automated and integrated Foreign Filing Services.

 

With Anaqua Connect, we are enabling collaborative end-to-end workflow processes and the automated exchange of data between law firms and their clients, so everyone has visibility of what is taking place and access to the same information.

 

Is there anything else you’d like to mention?

 

At Anaqua, we look at the end-to-end workflow of IP processes, where efficiency gains can be made, and how to improve collaboration each step of the way. For example, Anaqua Connect enables users to avoid errors associated with double docketing and have a more seamless relationship with their outside counsel and supporting agents. It ensures the quality of the data is maintained and reduces inefficiencies.

 

In addition, we wanted to make Foreign Filing a hands-free experience. Now users can get estimates, add supporting documents, send orders in AQX, and have their filing data automatically synching within their IP management software. We’ve also focused on helping law firms to continue to collaborate with their agent’s existing network so they can continue to grow those business relationships. We have done so by offering reciprocity agent choice that enables law firms to continue working with their agent of choice.

 

The beauty of the AQX platform is that it is integrated, and because it is integrated, it helps make the lives of IP professionals easier. It’s wonderful to see how many customers and organizations are really making this vision a reality and saying to us, "Oh, what if AQX could do this?" We listen to our customers, and we respond. AQX 10.6 reflects the ongoing collaboration with our customers.
