Eleven software systems used by legal departments for patent and trademark docketing

An ongoing survey distributed by Hyperion Research Group, experts in patent management and technology, listed the following eleven packages for intellectual property packages. A handful of posts on this blog have mentioned some of these, such as CPA Global, Dennemeyr, and CPI, but for all the others they are making their debut appearance here.

Computer Packages (CPI)
CPA Global - FoundationIP
CPA Global - Inprotech
Dennemeyer
GSI Winpat
Ipendo
OPSolutions - Pattsy
Patrafee
Patrix - Patricia
Thomson Reuters - IP Master
Unycom IPMS

If a general counsel were to look today to license one of these three kinds of software, there appear to be more than two dozen of the first two and probably nearly as many of the IP management packages.
