PROGRES: Search PROcess REenGineering

In the same way that business process management is a holistic approach to efficiently realigning a corporation’s organization and functions, Avantiq’s search process reengineering helps trademark departments to identify, quantify and streamline internal and external processes.

Through a combination of teamwork, tools and technology, we help clients structure their trademark search process so that they become more agile, intelligent and productive in their respective industry sectors and across worldwide jurisdictions.

In today’s global economy, corporations merge and divide with increasing speed. Department heads are challenged to maintain the highest levels of quality control while coping with reduced budgets and personnel. Overall, there is an emerging trend for IP departments to shift from being cost centers to becoming profit centers. We work with you in a three-phase process to develop a customized, comprehensive suite of search capabilities, allowing you to maximize the return on your trademark investments.

Partner with a trusted ally to increase the efficiency of your existing infrastructure.

Equally important to your internal search processes is the functionality of your external agents, who conduct searches and other local legal work for you.

The Process starts with you. We organize workshops with Management and the Employees to determine what you expect from your associates.

We then assess which of the criteria is being met, by using interactive forms specially developed for your needs. Agent responses are then analyzed and quantified by our team of experts.
