Inprotech is a very configurable system providing huge power and flexibility to us as an IP law firm in managing our cases. Laws for different countries and property types (patents, trademarks, designs, etc.) can be set up catering for all needs. Also changes in laws can be made with specific start dates and the ability to recalculate the dates are affected by the new laws.

The time recording functionality has received a revamp in recent years and works really well alongside the billing modules.

There are also modules for importing new case data into the system from a spreadsheet as well as the ability to download and compare data from public IP databases (EPO, US TSDR, Clarivate IPOneData) and compare the bibliographical data with that in your system in order to identify errors.

The support is usually quite quick to respond to calls and there is also the ability to see what the development teams are working on - a very transparent environment.

The system runs on a SQL Server RDBMS and as such *your* data is open and available to you for further integration (and transfer) into other systems. A fairly well documented database schema is also available.

There is a site available with lots of documentation and demonstration videos.

The very best thing about Inprotech though is the active user community; You might make friends for life, let alone the technical and emotional support you'll get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The system comes with a long history and has gone through several technological changes; It is rather slow going getting everything onto the most modern Web technology, but what we have seen so far looks promising.

It is a complicated system to set up, configure, maintain and upgrade and for a larger firm you'll probably need permanent staff to do these tasks. Fortunately, there are also excellent consultants available who can assist with these on a non-full time basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
