Purpose and goal
The goal was to develop a new software platform for P²ALS called ´P²ALS as a service´ targeting large companies. Collaboration has started with two potential clients. The needs of the clients have been integrated in the requirements specification and will be implemented in the tool. Another goal was to investigate the German market and develop a business plan for IAMIP. The market study showed that there is a great opportunity for establishment of P²ALS due to lack of similar tools. A pilot client has been identified and cooperation has been initiated.
Results and expected effects
Large companies and patent attorney firms have very high needs of a business tool like the P²ALS platform in order to work effectively with Intellectual Property. Two cooperation agreements have been signed with pilot clients for adaptation of the platform to match the specific needs of the clients. A business model including a pricing strategy for the platform is under development. An executed German market study revealed that there is a great need for P²ALS in Germany and several areas with good market potential were identified for IAMIP to establish activities.
Approach and implementation
Two client categories were identified; large companies and patent attorney firms. Some potential pilot clients were contacted. The functional requirement specification was developed in cooperation with two clients. A preliminary business model was developed and development activities for the platform have begun. A market study was performed aiming to investigate the market potential and opportunities for IAMIP to enter the German market. A number of companies were contacted and an IP conference was attended in order to identify potential pilots.
