Symphony for Patents

A powerful system for patent management

Three of the Largest Innovators in the World Manage Their IP Portfolios with Symphony

Most of the established IP management systems were developed 15 and even 20+ years ago. And, technology years are like dog years, so most of the current systems are old, inflexible and, generally, just don’t meet the needs of modern IP teams.

Symphony® is different. It was built recently on the latest, most advanced software development platform from Salesforce. Therefore, everything your current vendor promised their software would do but never materialized, Symphony delivers with ease.

From invention management and automated docketing, to portfolio management and integrated payments, Symphony IPMS is the only portfolio management system designed to reduce clicks, make docketing easier, portfolio management more powerful and, simply, enable your team to maximize portfolio value.

Symphony and Salesforce

We developed Symphony on the Salesforce platform because we wanted to focus on what we know best—IP management. We started with the most advanced and widely adopted enterprise application platform so our customers can benefit from Salesforce’s ongoing and huge investments in system architecture, availability, workflows, document management and, of course, data security.

So while most other vendors are spending more than half of their development resources maintaining 20 year-old software and infrastructure, MaxVal invests 100% of our development time on the next generation of advanced IP functionality.
