Every IP question answered instantly, with cited sources and no manual searching.
The challenge
During IP due diligence, legal teams need fast, accurate answers to specific questions across lengthy agreements, licenses, and filings. Finding those answers manually can be slow, hard to scale under transaction deadlines, and increases the risk of missing encumbrances or consent requirements that could affect deal value or the ability to close.
The solution
Ask iManage answers natural language questions across your entire IP document set instantly to surface ownership gaps, consent-to-assign requirements, open-source obligations, and chain-of-title issues with cited source support, so teams can move from question to answer without manual searching.
Open Ask iManage and add a Folder of documents as a Filter.
