The problem with most software solutions is that it takes almost a year just to deploy the application. Add costly fees for customizing the app, and the lost productivity of having to become an IT expert to simply get it up and running, and you’re left with an expensive and risky proposition. When you’ll see a return on your investment — if ever — is anybody’s guess.

With First To File’s Rapid Migration and Set-up, we make the process fast, simple, and painless.  For starters, our Electronic File Room™ ("EFR™") service is pre-built and developed specifically for patent prosecution and management – it was designed by patent professionals.  Therefore, your organization doesn’t experience down time or long development or software customization cycles.

In order to configure our system to your case environment, our Rapid Migration tools extract the patent case file data and structure from your docketing system and import them directly into our service. Because we’ve built EFR™ to be docketing-system independent, we work with most major docketing systems such as CPi, CPA, and Thompson Reuters. Once the case file structure is established and the data is secure, we import your current file documents, either from existing digital files or through the use of our scanning and uploading services.

Depending on the size and complexity of your patent portfolio, we can have most organizations up and running in four to six weeks.   No hassle. No risk. No waiting.
