Top Rated TIP Tool Alternatives
TIP provides me with a common platform to manage the potentially patentable ideas of all my clients in one place. It provides ease of access and sharing of innovative ideas and inventions, which is the first step towards obtaining a patent. It also allows me to segregate the ideas according to the client, domain of technology, invention type, etc., by way of tags. TIP has made my job of evaluating the ideas of my clients and their employees for a potential patent much easier. It also gives automatic updates regarding the status of the patent applications.

The TIP tool is super easy to use compared to Excel for managing patentable ideas. Drag-and-drop feature to move ideas from one stage to another is quite useful. The idea form is simple - innovators find it intuitive to fill. Staying in sync with USPTO updates saves attorney hours. Gives a quick glimpse of innovation and patent pipeline. Shows patent analytics for patent counsel, examiner, art unit etc to inform about the health of a patent application. It's real-time collaboration feature is like no other tool in the market.

It's little buggy at times, but I am hoping that as the devlopement continues to work on the product - it will surely shine. The TIP tool is a safe bet - as docketing software are too expensive and have many features that you don't even need as an innovation manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I found the product very useful for the list of ideas that I had. Used to work over emails before and then moved to excel. But excel got corrupted once and took me a long time to recover the idea list I had (thankfully, I was able to do so eventually!). I found the tool very easy to use and easy to understand. I do not come from a patent background, but the tool didn't make me realize that. Though there are 4 workflow processes defined, but internally I used them according to the process I had in my organization. My manager too loved it when I showed the tool to him and we may eventually adopt it companywide (though we aren't that big a number). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing that I would want additionally, for now, is separate admin and manager roles. Though right now I can restrict assigning anyone a manager, having these 2 roles distinct from each other would definitely make it an even more useful tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
