Clarivate Plc launched the IP Collaboration Hub? at the 2024 Clarivate Ignite conference held in San Diego, U.S. The new solution integrates with Clarivate IP management systems (IPMS) to provide a central hub for collaborating with local agents worldwide. The IP Collaboration Hub enables users to save time and reduce risks in the IP filing and prosecution process by providing a portal for instructors and local agents to collaborate and exchange information, while automatically docketing everything in the IPMS. This portal addresses a critical issue in the IP industry - over-reliance on email for communication - which introduces risk into the process.

The Hub automates and standardizes communication management between law firms, corporations and their local agents. The new solution enables users to manage their entire foreign filing and prosecution process for patents and trademarks from a single, structured mechanism for automated docketing fully integrated with their IPMS. The structured process eliminates human errors or missing documents when sending instructions, avoiding mistakes that could lead to loss of IP rights.
