Global law firm Dentons deploys Inprotech software to deliver greater efficiencies in its expanding IP practice
Global News

CPA logoCPA Global, the world’s leading provider of intellectual property (IP) management services and software, announced today that global law firm Dentons has deployed CPA Global’s Inprotech IP management software to help enhance efficiency and service across its fast-growing worldwide IP practice.

Dentons is one of the world’s largest law firms, with approximately 2,600 lawyers and professionals in more than 75 locations, spanning 50-plus countries. The firm was formed in March 2013 by the combination of international law firm Salans LLP, Canadian law firm Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP (FMC), and international law firm SNR Denton.

Based around a single, centralized database, Inprotech enables Dentons to combine the separate patent and trademark systems of its component firms into one core system, thereby maximizing efficiency and enhancing client service delivery. As Inprotech is web-based, Dentons staff can directly access the system at any time – for example, attorneys can securely log into Inprotech when travelling or working from different offices, without intermediary remote access applications.

Amy Bruns, Dentons’ Regional Manager for IP & Technology Docketing, based in Chicago, said: “The aim was to enhance service, increase efficiency, underpin closer communication and mitigate risk through automation. The technology needed to be web-based to allow staff ‘anytime, anywhere’ access. We also wanted a system that was flexible and future-proofed to meet longer-term goals, such as moving to a paper-light environment.” 

Added Bruns: “Since implementing Inprotech, we've achieved a number of efficiencies and highlighted several areas where we can reduce risk. Inprotech enables us to streamline operations and track information across the entire IP practice. The practice is growing rapidly and CPA Global has proven to be a reliable partner in devising, implementing and customizing a proven IP management system that supports Dentons’ short- and long-term goals.”

Mark Holt, Chief Technology Officer at CPA Global, added: “Working in close partnership with Dentons’ IP and IT teams, we have implemented a highly customized Inprotech solution, based on a deep understanding of the firm’s current and future needs. By spending time with Dentons’ key stakeholders in this area, we were able to tailor attorney functionality, workflows, and the user interface to meet Dentons’ specific requirements. It also enabled us to understand Dentons’ broader business plans and objectives, and how the software could be developed as part of the IP practice’s overall business strategy.”
