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 assesses 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 notified. The patent family for this project is monitored for grant, if applicable. Upon grant, the responsible developer and/or the patent department is notified. The process 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 helps patent departments not only analyze complex patent information efficiently, but also use it strategically to inform decision-making. By AI-based Analysis, structured workflows, and targeted monitoring ensure that relevant insights are shared throughout the company and form the basis for a forward-looking patent strategy.
Development and Research
Development teams can quickly understand patents and classify them correctly. AI filters out irrelevant information and delivers relevant information directly to the right people. This significantly reduces the effort required for patent work and makes that information immediately usable for better technical decisions and new ideas.
The difference from the competition
Many Systems separate Monitoring, Research and analysis are technically separate from one another. Information is function-specific, and processes proceed in isolated steps. IP7, on the other hand, combines a shared knowledge base with end-to-end workflows: All functions are fully integrated, access the same data set, remain linked to specific projects, and are consistently controlled through roles and group permissions.
General Functions
All functions access a shared Data Base and are organized according to project-based structures. Monitoring, research, analysis, and workflow are integrated and work together to support transparent 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
Clear and Legible Claims neural vector search and other neural vector search methods complement traditional search methods and relevance assessments.
Workflow and Routing
Tailored workflows support processing, approvals and internal coordination - across projects and traceable at any time.

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 evaluation. 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.
