One platform. A knowledge base. Clear workflows – the professional business solution
Our business solution combines patent monitoring, research and analysis in a fully integrated platform. The visibility of the data is not function-dependent, but is regulated exclusively based on roles and rights. This means that the company's entire patent knowledge is available in a structured manner at all times, without data silos.


Structured collaboration in the company
Patent activities are organized on a project basis. Individual workflows control the internal distribution of information.
A typical process looks like this: The AI checks the relevance of the monitoring results and forwards them to the responsible development team. A developer marks a patent as critical. The patent department is automatically informed. The patent family for this project is monitored for grant, if applicable. If granted, the responsible developer and/or the patent department is informed. The processing is documented in the project.
Targeted presentation of information prevents information overload and creates clear responsibilities. The required activities are reduced to the bare minimum.
Who is the business solution intended for?
A common Platform for clear Responsibilities between Law and Development. For Companies of All Sizes – From sMEs to international Corporations
Patent department and IP management
IP7 compass supports patent departments in not only efficiently analyzing complex patent information, but also using it for strategic decisions. Through AI-based evaluation, structured workflows and targeted monitoring, relevant findings are distributed throughout the company and form the basis for a forward-looking patent strategy.
Development and Research
Development teams can quickly understand and correctly classify patents. AI filters out unimportant things and brings relevant information to the right people. In this way, the effort for patent work is significantly reduced and can be used directly for better technical decisions and new ideas.
The difference from the competition
Many systems technically separate monitoring, research and analysis from one another. Information is function-bound and processes run in isolated work steps. IP7, on the other hand, combines a shared knowledge base with consistent workflows: All functions are fully integrated, access the same database, remain linked to specific projects and are controlled consistently via roles and group rights.
General Functions
All functions access a common database and are organized in a project-related structure. Monitoring, research, analysis and workflow work together in an integrated manner and support traceable work processes throughout the company.
Patent monitoring
Monitor patent families and legal statuses with targeted event filters. Relevant changes are recorded and processed in a structured manner.
FTO and state-of-the-art research
Combination of classic search and AI research for precise results. Structured strategies enable reliable analyses.
Patent analysis
Analyze, prioritize and reduce large patent portfolios to the essentials with just one click.
AI support
Readable claim representations and neural vector searches complement classic research methods and relevance checks.
Workflow and Routing
Tailored workflows support processing, approvals and internal coordination - across projects and traceable at any time.
Role and rights management
Role-based access control ensures clear responsibilities and flexible distribution of responsibilities.
Global patent database
International patent data from over 100 countries with full texts, machine translations and legal status data as a basis for research and analysis.

Fast relevance checks through AI summaries
Automatic condensation of complex patents to quickly assess their technical relevance.
AI-supported Research for new technical Solutions
Neural Search to Identify relevant Patents beyond classic Keyword searches.
Automatic Filtering and Prioritization
Reduction of large result lists to relevant IP rights through intelligent analysis and evaluation procedures.
Technical assignment to projects and subject areas
Automatic classification of patents into existing development projects, technologies or components.
Task-based Workflows and targeted Distribution
Support for typical R&D tasks (e.g. relevance checks, risk assessments) with automatic forwarding to the responsible people, e.g. in the patent department.
Security
Structured access control, clearly defined role rights and controlled data availability form the basis for secure and compliant patent management in the company.




Transparency of Interfaces
IP7 provides standardized export formats such as XML in accordance with WIPO ST.36 as well as structured data exports for reporting and documentation. In addition, a programming interface is available via which selected data can be systematically integrated into existing IT landscapes.
Individual integration requirements or project-specific interfaces are evaluated and jointly agreed as part of a technical review. This makes it transparent which standards are available, which API functions can be used and which integrations can be implemented in the respective application scenario.
