Memotech 6 is a huge leap forward for the corporate IP sector; and is the latest in a series of product innovations resulting from CPA Global's ongoing investment in its market-leading software solutions.

Memotech is the world's most successful enterprise IP management system and this new release is eagerly anticipated by the hundreds of corporate clients that already trust the software to support their IP management needs. Amongst its many product enhancements, Memotech 6 delivers the following key benefits:

• Greater  business  insight  for  collaboration  and  informed  decision  making: Whether working within or outside of the IP department, users can collaborate over idea generation, existing portfolio activity and future commercialisation strategies. Real-time information provides business managers with insight into key performance indicators across the innovation pipeline, submissions, IP spend and competitors - making informed decisions on activities that may impact productivity, investment return or commercial risk.

• Significant  enhancements  in  usability  and  end-user  efficiency: Memotech 6 features a completely flexible user interface. This empowers a company's IP leadership team to set role-based configurations aligned to their business without complex software customisation.

• Major  improvements  in  business  automation  and  data  quality: Redesigned patent and trademark functionality with user-definable business rules delivers step-change improvements in data integrity and workflow management. By combining these with workflow-aware wizards and powerful multi-matter editing tools that shorten the time taken to complete common tasks, Memotech 6 brings important new productivity benefits to corporate IP departments.

• Rapid  generation  of  customised  reports: Memotech 6 includes a powerful integrated reporting solution, which produces customised reports and dashboards in a matter of seconds. It enables users to quickly combine data fields into queries, then view the results, share them with their colleagues, or export data to Microsoft Excel.

A number of customers were given the opportunity to trial Memotech 6 under an Early Adopter Programme and have been delighted by the results. Helle Storm Aufeldt, Senior Patent Administrator at H. Lundbeck A/S, the international pharmaceutical company, said: "I'm excited about the new flexibility of Memotech 6. This is particularly useful in my role because it's more responsive and allows me to configure the user interface to be exactly in line with the way our IP management team works. In addition, the new graphical dashboards will help me show our executives how the IP operations are meeting their business needs. I'm looking forward to deploying this latest version of Memotech across the IP department."

Ralph Schroeder, Managing Director of Hyperion Research, a legal market analyst firm, observed: "Corporate intellectual property management (IPM) is entering a new phase of maturity as organisations increase the sophistication of their practices. True enterprise-class IPM applications, such as Memotech 6, are critical enablers of these new ways of working." In noting Hyperion's recognition of Memotech 6 as one of the market's advanced solutions, Schroeder said: "The newly designed system provides a powerful toolset that positions CPA Global as a strong solution option for global IP owners."

David Coster, CPA Global's Director, Enterprise Software Solutions, commented: "Memotech 6 represents a significant innovation in IP management software technology, helping make life simpler for in-house IP professionals and further increasing their productivity and the ability to make more informed decisions. The enhanced usability and highly configurable nature of the software speeds up data entry and other administrative processes, enabling clients to maximise their time on managing their IP portfolios."

Coster added: "Memotech 6 has been developed as a result of extensive consultation with customers and prospects, underlining CPA Global's ongoing commitment to work with our software customers to deliver truly world-class products."

CPA Global prides itself on the high-level of dialogue and collaboration it has with its software customers, as is evident through its annual software user conference and regular Software Advisory Council (SAC) meetings with users of its market-leading IP management software solutions.
