IP Australia to tune up business processes

Patent and trade mark agency to roll out IP Rights Management solution as part of its IP Rights Modernisation Program

IP Australia, the government agency responsible for administering patents, trade marks, designs and plant breeder’s rights, is to deploy a intellectual property (IP) Rights Management solution as part of a push toward better business processes.

The project aims to provide simplified and agile processes and, where possible, implement common tools and infrastructure to support streamlined and harmonised IP Rights processing, according to IP Australia.

This will be done through systems integration, establishing a set of generic IT system capabilities that can be extended to support core business processing across the four IP Rights business lines, as well as developing and enhancing other capabilities.

The project is part of the agency’s IP Rights Modernisation Program (IPRM), which was set up in August last year to improve business systems within IP Australia.

The IPRM consists of the IP rights processing project and an Integrated Customer Service Delivery (ICSD) project aimed at rationalising service delivery channels and enabling IP Australia to automate current manual, paper-based service request processes.

Up to 800 IP Australia staff will use the new IP Rights Management solution to manage about 378,304 patent, 389,989 Trade Mark, 38,388 design and, 3,806 Plant Breeders Rights processes a year.

  • Beverage Distributor Virtualises Data Centre: A case study
    Low cost servers, used for applications such as sales force automation and workgroup collaboration, had contributed to server sprawl, causing the data center to outgrow available power and cooling capacity. Server virtualisation helped but had begun to slow network performance. “We wanted 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity without the expense of building a new data center,” says Rory Regan, network and telecom manager, Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated. “We decided to build a new data center network that would continue to work with our existing servers and storage as we gradually migrated to a unified fabric.” Read this case study

We now hold the power of communicating and computing in the palms of our hands, nearly anywhere business or life takes us.
