Intellectual Property Legal Process Outsourcing Practices Report
For background, ipPerformance conducted a recent Intellectual Property Owners Association IP operations benchmark study, which included large company (median revenue $17.4 billion) participants. One of the key takeaways was that 64 percent of the survey participants indicated that they outsourced at least one patent operations activity. On average, IP leaders indicated that they outsourced 2.5 tasks. The most common activity participants outsourced offshore (78 percent) was patentability and prior art searches. Overall, 62 percent of the companies reported being satisfied with outsourcing; only 2 percent said they were not satisfied. So we thought we would expand on this benchmark data and investigate company selection, management and supervision practices, budgeting, and satisfaction levels for each activity.
