Every ownership right, use restriction, and indemnification obligation, extracted consistently across every IP agreement, every time.
The challenge
IP licensing, assignment, and development agreements involve complex, interdependent provisions on ownership, use restrictions, royalty structures, indemnification, and termination. Reviewing them manually across a portfolio makes it easy to miss conflicting ownership claims, overlooked sublicensing restrictions, and gaps in third-party infringement protection. This exposure can compromise an entire IP position before it is identified.
The solution
Apply the IP Contract Review Question List to a single agreement or across your full IP portfolio. Ask iManage extracts ownership rights, license type, use restrictions, payment and royalty structures, confidentiality obligations, indemnification provisions, liability limits, and termination condition, returning structured, citation-backed outputs so teams can map their IP position, identify conflicts, and assess compliance risk across every agreement in scope.
