I have so many favorite features, but as a law firm, I really love the ability to mange references cited across the entire family. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FoundationIP? I don't have any real dislikes, the company works with users to ensure that each new release and feature is what the users would like to see in the system.

Recommendations to others considering FoundationIP: Get it, you won't regret it. When looking into the software, ask to speak to a user and see how they are using the system.

Patent Paralegal Computer Hardware Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/2/2017 "FoundationIP is an awesome IP Management System with everything I need!" 5/5 What do you like best about FoundationIP? My favorite part of FoundationIP is how customizable it is. You can make it exactly what you need whether you are a firm or corporation, regardless of size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about FoundationIP? My least favorite thing about FoundationIP is how intimidating it can be to new users. My best advice is to jump in and start using it because once you spend some time in the system, it is less intimidating and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering FoundationIP: FoundationIP is a great product but the key is to have a good plan from the beginning. Think about how you want things to be set up (matter types, relationships, families, references, reminders, reports, etc.) before actually putting any information in the system. Once you have a plan in place, your system will run how you want it to and make managing your portfolio a piece of cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is FoundationIP solving and how is that benefiting you? We have a very large portfolio and it is often hard to track what we have in specific areas, what is alive versus closed, new invention disclosures, etc. FoundationIP helps us track our IP portfolio from invention disclosure submission, through filing, prosecution, grant and post-grant. We are also able to easily run metrics and analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
