PATERIS
IP workflows across offices with Sympatent IPM
Starting point
PATERIS’s two offices work closely together on both professional and organisational matters. In daily practice, this means that information must be available across locations, responsibilities must remain clear, and proceedings must be handled to a consistently high standard regardless of where team members work.
Approach with Sympatent IPM
Sympatent IPM supports PATERIS as a central working platform for both offices, creating a shared information base. Matters, deadlines, tasks, documents, fee information, correspondence and billing are brought together in one system, while still following workflows that can be tailored to individual offices and matters.
Results
- A shared foundation for processes and data in Berlin and Munich
- A clear overview of IP portfolios, deadlines, fees and responsibilities
- Consistent workflows for correspondence, deadline handling and invoicing
- Structured collaboration between attorneys and support teams across offices
Sympatent IPM fits our understanding of PATERIS as a firm with high quality standards. The platform helps us organise IP portfolios, deadlines, cost information and matter workflows so that our teams work from the same reliable foundation across offices.

VSP
Modern IP workflows for a digitally focused IP firm
Starting point
VSP is consistently focused on modern, digital working practices. For a firm of this kind, software is more than infrastructure in the background: it is part of how the firm defines itself. It must make collaboration straightforward, be clear to use and reliable in handling deadlines, and offer the flexibility needed for efficient, personal client service.
Approach with Sympatent IPM
Sympatent IPM supports VSP as a browser-based platform for digital law firm workflows. It combines the required functionality with a modern, browser-based user interface, both for internal work and for the firm’s presentation to clients through the client portal.

- Software that fits a modern law firm culture
Our practice management software must match our digital way of working: clear, fast, reliable and free from legacy constraints. Sympatent delivers exactly that: extensive functionality built on a modern, sustainable technical architecture.
