The Research and Development (R&D) department develops new products and services that can create competitive advantage in the marketplace. Success depends on developing superior, protected, proprietary products and services.
Open Text solutions for Research and Development recognize that R&D information is particularly diverse and must be maintained for proprietary advantage. R&D staff such as scientists, engineers and technicians have unique perspectives, which necessitate collaborative processes to support research and knowledge exchange with colleagues, customers, partners and suppliers.
Intellectual Property Management
Supporting patent applications requires complex processes, whether invention is determined by application date (as in most jurisdictions) or invention date (as in the U.S.). Accurate and legally defensible records of the exact nature, components, and inventors of each invention are required. In the past, signed and dated paper records and secure microfilm images were sufficient, but now electronic equivalents that use digital signatures or external electronic notarization are used. The defense of Intellectual Property by purely electronic means is often supplemented by printing or microfilming key records. Open Text’s solutions make it easy to manage your IP processes.
