Enterprise Solutions
 

At First To File^®, we work with some of the world’s largest and most respected organizations to help them prosecute and manage their IP more effectively. 

We understand the needs of patent professionals who manage global IP organizations and have developed our service to work in any environment without massive and costly software re-writes and coding.

The Electronic File Room™ ("EFR™ ") system is enterprise ready and:

Configurable

We understand that all companies are different, and we’ve built our patent-centric service to be flexible and configurable to handle nuances in workflow, case structure, technologies, users and more – without costly and time consuming software changes.

Scalable

Some of our customers have over 100,000 patents and more than 100 active users accessing our service daily.  Our system architecture was developed to be modular so as we grow we can easily increase our capacity to fit our customer’s needs, without service degradation.

Secure

As IP professionals ourselves, we understand concerns around safety and security of your IP assets.  Our hosting facility is SAS70 II compliant, and we adhere to strict documented policies, procedures and systems to make even the most concerned IS risk and security personnel feel at ease.

Open

Every enterprise is different, with different processes and internal systems.  Our EFR™ service integrates with all major docketing systems, the USPTO, and can even be configured to work with other internal systems, whether they are proprietary or off the shelf.

Cost Effective

The FTF business model and fee structure was developed to scale with the size of the organization’s patent portfolio.  The more patents you have the lower the per unit fee.
