Thompson Coburn Unifies IP Management with Anaqua

U.S. law firm brings its clients’ patent portfolios onto a single platform

BOSTON--()--Anaqua, Inc., a leading provider of Intellectual Property (IP) management and analytics software and services, today announced that U.S. law firm Thompson Coburn LLP has chosen ANAQUA to simplify its IP management.

Thompson Coburn’s IP practice group will use ANAQUA for paperless management of patents. The firm, which manages a portfolio of thousands of active patents worldwide, selected Anaqua to bring all of its clients’ patent portfolios onto a single platform in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

“Anaqua will help Thompson Coburn take its IP program to the next level,” said Bob Romeo, CEO of Anaqua. “Our software will increase the firm’s workflow capabilities, allowing its attorneys to have access to all of their information in one system.”

The firm’s IP practice group is composed of 40 attorneys, eight paralegals, three patent agents and technical advisors, and seven docket clerks across five offices, making it hard for attorneys and staff to access and share the same documents. With Anaqua’s unified IP platform, all Thompson Coburn’s employees are able to access the same information from multiple locations.

Michelle Woods, IP Practice Support Services Supervisor at Thompson Coburn, said the law practice selected Anaqua for its efficiency and flexibility. “With Thompson Coburn continuing to expand, we needed one universal system that could be utilized and shared by attorneys and staff across offices,” said Woods. “With ANAQUA, our attorneys now have everything at their hands to provide greater value to our clients.”
