SHIP Global IP’s business mission is to help its clients reduce the time between creating an idea and putting it on the market by offering the broadest range of IP services from a single meeting point. The company offers technological solutions created by and for IP professionals, through which its corporate clients and IP Law firms can manage their entire portfolio of IP assets, from start to finish, easily, anytime, anywhere.

Following is the conversation that CIO Applications Magazine had with Juan Julián León, Chief Executive Officer of SHIP Global IP, to understand the company’s vision and unique value that they offer. He is a recognized expert in developing technological platforms for the centralized management of IP services.

What are the pain points existing in the License Management space today?

Thanks to our vast expertise in IP translation, we identified a growing need in the IP sector. There were specific patent, trademark, or annuity solutions on the market, but very few, if any, really covered all the needs that an internal IP department might need.

SHIP Global IP was born with a clear focus to centralize the management of IP departments under the same company and under an online management tool designed specifically for this sector. In unstable periods, companies need their internal resources to invest their time well in the core of their business, outsourcing the rest of the administrative tasks. SHIP Global IP was created to fulfill this imperative need, offering a 360 solution for all the requirements that an IP portfolio may need, from a single supplier and a single technological platform.

Please through more light on your comprehensive IP portfolio management service and solution.

We offer a comprehensive IP portfolio management service and solution through one of the strongest online management tools on the market. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, SHIP aims to create custom-tailored solutions to ensure it is able to meet clients’ goals to improve efficiencies and reduce costs.

SHIP HELM is a user-friendly and intuitive platform. Its features include instant quotes for all aspects of patents, trademarks, and any other IP-related processes, giving clients the ability to plan their budget strategy in real time. It also allows fast, automated data validation with WIPO and EPO bibliographical data, thanks to an improved interface that increases data entry efficiency.

Where do you see customer traction in and why (market segments)?

Our actual client portfolio focuses on various sectors, the majority being the life sciences, biotechnology, and chemistry sectors, accounting for over 60 percent of the company’s turnover. The second portion of the pie is represented by the services provided to different law firms. The Manufacturing and Energy, Gas & Oil sectors are also worth mentioning due to their importance in sales. We serve industry leaders in their sectors and top filing companies.

Please elaborate on a case study highlighting the benefits that one of your clients received.

One of our clients, ranked within the top 5 pharmaceutical companies in the world, underwent a global corporate-driven initiative to reduce the high translation costs. They initiated a global RFP (Request for Proposal) with the initial intention of reducing their high yearly translation expenditure. As this worked so well, the client consolidated their European Patent Validation filing efforts with SHIP Global IP.

When SHIP and the client started the partnership in 2017, the client had about 200 in-house professionals dedicated to IP management. SHIP had to complement this team by adding value to already-good processes and reducing costs.

In addition to the time saved on in-house counsel and cost reduction benefits from using our agent networks, the client’s savings by the end of 2021 accounted for 25.5% and the formalities teams saved approximately 2 hours per case on average.
