Master your intellectual property lifecycle with IPRHQ

Launching a new brand, technology or design, or registering a domain name or social media handle? Then you need to check what rights others already hold.

IPRHQ draws on data about trademarks, patents, designs, domain names and more, and gives you relevant results in near real time. Pick a quick knock-out search, a full availability check, an in-use search or a prior-art search, whatever fits.

You choose the sources: the countries where rights are protected, the offices that registered or granted them, the names of applicants and owners, and more. Happy with a setup? Turn it into a periodic watch report.

Going through search and watch results is tedious. The AI engine in IPRHQ sorts them by your own risk profile, so you can focus on what really threatens your business and save hours of review.

From there you can start enforcement right away: a cease-and-desist letter, a notice-and-takedown request or a UDRP complaint. Everything you need is at hand.

Setting up your portfolio is easy: use the search function to mark which IP rights, domain names and marketplace and social media presences are yours.

With that overview, it’s easier to track down counterfeits and phishing online, to act against offline infringements (for example by opposing a third party’s trademark application) and to draft manufacturing, distribution and other IP agreements.

You can also record who may use your IP commercially, and link your rights to the products and services you offer.

Relations are part of any IP portfolio: they show which third parties may use your rights commercially. IPRHQ helps you manage them all, from manufacturers and marketers to importers, exporters, distributors and resellers.

The list can also include parties you have co-existence agreements, waivers or unilateral declarations with. With everyone in one place, you can check that they stick to the deal, and step in right away when they don’t.

Competitors are a relation too: IPRHQ can report on the new products and services they launch, so you can act where needed.

IP rights drive the value of every product and service you offer. That’s why IPRHQ lets you link the rights in your portfolio to each product or service you bring to market, and to the relations that help you do it: a triangle of rights, relations and products.

It also makes enforcement stronger: when IPRHQ spots counterfeits, you can invoke every right they infringe.

Like searches, IPRHQ’s watch and monitoring reports cover all available sources: trademarks, patents, designs, domain names and your company’s online presences.

Every item links straight to the underlying data, whether that’s the trademark record at the office, the domain name or the online search result. You decide whether the AI engine classifies each result, rates the risk against your risk profile and, for domain names and online results, summarises what it found.

You decide how often reports run, and whether exports include the AI analysis.

Did a search or watch report turn up something unwelcome? Open an enforcement matter right on the platform, with complete, up-to-date data on both the rights you invoke and the infringement you’re targeting. Actions include:

• oppositions against trademarks, patents or designs;
• cease-and-desist letters and notice-and-takedown requests;
• phishing reports to registrars, hosting providers, law enforcement and search engines;
• UDRP complaints;
• and many more.

The IPRHQ Word add-in brings in the relevant data, plus the letters, documents and clauses that fit the matter.
