Patton Boggs selects CPA Global IP docketing services as a means to manage cost and capacity

CPA Global, one of the world's leading providers of legal process outsourcing (LPO) services, has announced it will provide Patton Boggs LLP with outsourced intellectual property docketing services, enabling the law firm to cost effectively increase capacity, while maintaining the highest quality standards. Patton Boggs is one of American Lawyer's "Top 100" US law firms and is included in the list of the world's "Top Patent Firms," according to Intellectual Property Today.

By working with CPA Global IP Support Services and its team of outsourced IP docketing specialists, Patton Boggs is able to quickly and seamlessly extend the capacity of its existing staff without incurring the costs associated with hiring, training and maintaining additional employees. Patton Boggs will be initially supported by CPA Global's on-shore docketing specialists in the US.

"An outsourcing model enables us to be much more responsive to our clients," said Sue Statz, Director of IP Administration at Patton Boggs. "When we have unanticipated projects or spikes in work, we are able to easily and cost effectively increase resources to meet the demand."

CPA Global, which was recently ranked as the world's top intellectual property outsourcing provider in the Brown-Wilson Group's Black Book of Outsourcing 2009, also provides clients of Patton Boggs with patent maintenance services. "We are delighted to see our relationship with Patton Boggs extend from managing their clients' patent annuities and maintenance fees to providing outsourced docketing services," said Bhaskar Bagchi, Director of IP Support Services and Regional Operations at CPA Global. "By touching key areas of the IP management lifecycle, we truly become an extension of our client's in-house team."
