A race against time: Merging two IP portfolios in 8 weeks!

When Kilpatrick Stockton LLP, one of the country’s largest law firms, merged with specialist IP firm Townsend and Townsend and Crew LLP, the newly created firm of Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP (KTS) was faced with consolidating two massive IP portfolios. Since the IP management system is the engine of most IP practices, the company set an aggressive eight-week timeline to complete the database integration to minimize the interruption to business operations. Understanding that a project of this magnitude would require collaboration and flexibility on both sides, KTS partnered with CPA Global, utilizing the company’s outsourced docketing services to relieve the administrative burden on its practice while the data-bases and processes were consolidated on the company’s hosted IP management system, FoundationIP.
