With our electronic interface you can save time, transform data-handling and keep costs down. Gaylene Brereton explains the benefits for clients who use either CPA Memotech or CPA Inprotech software, or CPA’s renewals services.

Keeping your renewals provider up to date with your case information and data updates can be a time-consuming business. There’s a need for constant vigilance to make sure your renewals provider has all the latest information about your cases. Getting it right is a laborious and detailed process that involves a great deal of care, because an error, such as a missed patent renewal or a lapsed trademark, can spell disaster for your business.

It’s not only renewals data that can be transferred using this simple and painless method – we’ll e-mail your invoices too!

That is why CPA has developed an electronic interface, a two-way communication system that works with CPA’s software and renewals’ system. With the interface, you can transfer all your renewal-related information to CPA at the simple touch of a button, guaranteeing that all your data updates get transferred accurately to CPA, in a fraction of the time you normally take.

HOW THE ELECTRONIC INTERFACE WORKS
Each time you update your data, the electronic interface will make a note of all your updates. Then, at the end of the month, or whenever you prefer, you can activate a simple command that will e-mail all the renewal-related records you have updated over to CPA. The file will trigger our records to ensure your changes are acted on. And because the interface is a two-way communication tool, we will send the information we hold on your renewals back to your files to automatically highlight any discrepancies. It provides you with another opportunity to verify, and if necessary, update your data.

And it’s not only renewals data that can be transferred using this simple and painless method – we’ll e-mail your invoices too! They’ll be updated on your CPA accounting modules automatically, saving you time-consuming administration work.

The electronic interface is easy to install, and if you have made extensive adaptations to CPA software, the interface can be developed to suit. Keeping your data in sync with the records we hold on your IP, reduces clerical time, minimises errors, and improves productivity, making a difference to your bottom line.
