Illume is a web-based IP Watching System developed by Filament to help corporations monitor patent and trademark activity in their commercial and technology areas. Its superior features make it easier for companies to defend and leverage their vital Intellectual Property (IP) portfolios.

A superior IP Watch & Patent Alert system

Illume is another example of Filament using its knowledge and experience in IP Analytics to develop superior Patent Analysis tools and help deliver IP Intelligence. It streamlines the process of searching and reviewing and delivers the following advantages over competitive IP Alert & Patent Alert software systems:

• Comprehensive - searches data not covered by traditional search
• Collaborative - allows a team to review & confer on record relevance
• Accountable - facilitates the management of the review process
• Auditable - maintains a history of search and review
• Usable - simplifies the process for non-legal team members
• Insightful - identifies market activity in emerging areas
• Scalable - can be used across the entire organisation

Comprehensive IP Search

As the developed world gets larger and technology developments escalate at exponential pace, corporations need an IP Alert including Patent Watch system that is truly comprehensive. Illume takes in categories and territories not covered by typical Patent Search services to help ensure that if a relevant Patent, Trademark, Design, Scientific Paper or other relevant publication is published anywhere in the world - you know about it.

Collaborative response to Patent Activity

It's not sufficient that a IP Alert system alerts you to Patent, Trademark and Design Activity. An effective Patent Watch system lets you draw on the collective knowledge and experience of the key individuals who can shape an appropriate response. One of Illume's strongest features is the way it allows your team to collaborate in monitoring and defending your Intellectual Property - without abdicating responsibility.

Auditable Paper Trail

Effectively prosecuting or defending patent litigation often depends on establishing a paper trail. Illume's inbuilt History lets you track and review your responses and actions to Patent Activity for either internal or external use.

Usability in Patent Watch

To encourage team members to contribute to the defence of your IP assets, your IP Alert or Patent Watch system must be easy to use. Filament engaged a team of Usability experts to ensure Illume can be used by people who may have limited experience with IP. This both reduces ongoing training costs and improves team response times.

Insightful Patent Alert System

In Intellectual Property Management, you don't want to get caught watching established competitors and miss the emergence of new players or technologies. Illume's comprehensive search and easy-to-comprehend graphic displays are designed to help you detect more quickly the arrival of fresh competitive threats.

Scalable Patent Watch

Illume can be used by small teams but it has also been based on a scalable architecture that allows it to be used across the vast IP Portfolio of massive multinational corporations.
