Empowering Innovation as we go
The Challenge
The market is rapidly evolving and becoming more competitive than ever, making innovation and early detection of trends the lifeblood for any business - especially companies facing production disadvantages.
From tracking the competitor moves to aligning with the team on a new product concept, time, resources, knowledge sharing and finances can become potential hurdles in the path to developing and bringing a new product to the market.
Our Mission
We think working with patents should cover all the complex needs of your forward-moving business without being complicated.
Our mission is to provide a software solution that helps businesses understand and analyze patents from around the world, transforming global patent knowledge into actionable insights.
It lets you drive innovation, anticipate competitor moves and secure the competitive edge, while smoothly connecting all parts of your business involved in your latest technology development.
Our Story
Long before Europatent was founded in 2015, we realized that manufactures didn’t want lengthy innovation processes and wanted to fast-track their strategic decisions. This is where we launched a full-featured software PATOffice to help merge the gap for companies that focused on innovating faster with accurate competitor insights and a tight-knit collaborative workflow.
By the end of 2023, PATOffice took the stage, with Europatent backing as our legal entity in the background. Experty led by the CEO Lukas Kappelsberger, PATOffice uses its intelligent platform built with Gen AI features to help thousands of businesses scale and grow better.
