In the first half of 2017 alone, the company invested close to 10 million SEK in upgrades and new features making the IamIP platform the most powerful and comprehensive patent management tool in the world. The company’s focus is to become a global leader in the industry and will together with Senovo focus on executing its expansion into the DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) region.
“We have long searched for a partner that has the knowledge and experience in successfully growing SaaS companies. Therefore we are very excited about welcoming Senovo as our investor and partner,” said Dimitris Giannoccaro CEO and Founder of IamIP.
IamIP’s software platform gives its clients an easy-to-use interface where they can within seconds conclude how to spend their Research & Development investments, what competitors to monitor or take action on, and even evaluate the cost efficiency of their current — and future — Intellectual Property portfolio.
“IamIP is essential for the future of innovation-driven companies,” said Dr. Alexander Buchberger, Partner at Senovo Capital Management. “Intellectual Property is believed to be a bureaucratic and costly process, when in fact it is the core asset of innovation-driven companies. The IamIP platform offers strategic and actionable insights, efficient collaboration, monitoring of competition, trends and profitability, and much more. It eventually turns the Intellectual Property of the company into its most valuable asset, which places IamIP in an indispensible position” concludes Dr. Buchberger.
“The DACH region is the biggest and most important Intellectual Property market in Europe”, continues Mr Giannoccaro. “IamIP has already signed multiple Fortune 500 clients in the DACH region and in order to meet the demand an office and local team is being established in Cologne, Germany. IamIP is now ready to serve the DACH region’s innovation-driven companies. We will make IamIP the first Swedish unicorn in the field of Legal Tech.”
