TESTIMONIAL

“Our old system was just outdated. It was time to look for something new. We tested all the major docketing platforms. I’ve worked on quite a few IP management providers, but Anaqua’s PATTSY WAVE stood out.”

– Josh Villegas,
IP Docketing Supervisor, King & Spalding LLP

CHALLENGE

King & Spalding faced mounting challenges with its previous IP management system:

  • Outdated technology that slowed processes and increased risk.
  • Manual workflows required constant double-checking to avoid malpractice exposure.
  • Fragmented communication across multiple offices, making it hard to keep attorneys and paralegals aligned.

SOLUTION

King & Spalding selected Anaqua’s PATTSY WAVE for its simplicity, automation, and unified platform. PATTSY WAVE delivers efficiency and transparency across IP operations.

Automated Docket Reports:

“We love how PATTSY WAVE automatically sends out docket reports to attorneys and paralegals. One less thing we have to do manually.”

Auto-Docketing & Document Integration:

“The auto-docket feature is a lifesaver. Everything is right there and you don’t have to jump between systems.”

Custom Reporting:

“I build custom reports for partners and clients and save them by name. It’s fast, accurate, and tailored to what they need.”

Client Access & Transparency:

“Clients can log in, see their portfolio, and even run reports. It’s a single source of truth, and they love that.”

Country Law Updates:

“Anaqua provides quarterly country law updates to keep us ahead of upcoming changes in global IP regulations, so we can proactively adjust our processes and ensure compliance. Anaqua makes sure those changes are built into the system before they impact our work.”

Global IP Estimator helps the IP team generate immediate, worldwide future cost estimates, including cost estimators for trademarks, patents, designs and utility models. 

Anaqua Services for Patent Annuities & Trademark Renewals (AQS):
“No more back-and-forth emails. With AQS, everything is built in. Reports will include dollar amounts, automatically saving hours of work.”
