Western Digital Selects ANAQUA for Trademark Management

Leading data technology company unifies trademark portfolio with ANAQUA

BOSTON--()--Anaqua, Inc., a leading provider of Intellectual Property (IP) management software and services, today announced that Western Digital has selected the ANAQUA platform to provide comprehensive management of its trademark portfolio.

Western Digital, one of the world’s largest data technology providers, implemented Anaqua’s software so that the company could combine its own trademark management with that of various subsidiaries and trademark owners. The project comprised migrating data from three different legacy IP management systems into ANAQUA’s unified platform. Creating environments for data to thrive, Western Digital is driving the innovation needed to help customers capture, preserve, access and transform an ever-increasing diversity of data.

With Anaqua, Western Digital will have access to Trademark Search Request Forms, Trademark Clearance, Single Sign On, and management of trademark conflicts. Western Digital relies heavily on its portfolio of over 6,000 trademarks to build and preserve brand value in the U.S. and across the globe. Western Digital, the Western Digital logo, G-Technology, HGST, SanDisk, Tegile, Upthere and WD are the most notable trademarks of Western Digital Corporation and its affiliates in the U.S. and/or other countries.

“We are delighted to welcome Western Digital to our growing list of tech manufacturers,” said Anaqua CEO Bob Romeo. “It is very gratifying to see such a renowned leader in the data storage sector demonstrating their confidence that Anaqua’s software is the best solution for their trademark management.”
