3rd WIPANO funding phase launched with a focus on companies!

With the publication in the Federal Gazette, the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK) has launched a new funding phase of its funding programme “WIPANO – Knowledge and Technology Transfer through Patents and Standards” for the years 2024-2027.

The WIPANO programme supports the use of the creative potential of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular that have not registered a patent or utility model in the last three years.

As part of the programme, companies can receive a grant of up to 50% of the costs of a patent application (legal and official fees). A prior art search is mandatory at the beginning of the programme. As one of the leading German companies in the field of patent searches, Serviva GmbH offers this service cost-effectively and in excellent quality.

Serviva GmbH – 15 years of success on the market

Serviva GmbH – 15 years of success on the market 6

On March 9, 2006, Dr. Lars Zanzig and Dr. Raphael Jung founded Serviva GmbH, thus marking this year as the 15th anniversary of the company. The company’s initial focus on consulting services in the field of intellectual property management was quickly expanded to services in research, monitoring, as well as software distribution and integration. Offering excellent services with professional coworkers to a fair price determined the company’s philosophy from its very beginning and still holds truth today.

The new locations in Stuttgart and Munich as well as the subsidiary in Austria also enabled the continuous increase in the number of employees from initially four to more than 30 as of today.

“We are looking forward to more successful years with and for our customers!”

 

Dr. Lars Zanzig, Managing Director

Serviva – Your strong partner for decentralised work in the IP area

The world of Intellectual Property (IP) has always been a pioneer in the global networking of people and ideas. The recent push towards decentralized and collaborative work is therefore only logical. Many professional tools are available for video conferencing and instant messaging communication, but does your IP management software in the company or law firm keep up with this pace of digitization? Does it also have the appropriate, secure technologies? Especially today, every department and every law firm needs a structure that enables decentralized work, e.g. from home, on the road or from several locations without complications, quality or security losses.

As a long-time partner of Patrix®, Serviva® has built up a wealth of experience in the field of remote working through a multitude of customer projects.

We know what you need to work well and efficiently. Suitably we offer the software tools that enable and support decentralized IP work.

Patricia® – In the latest version 6.0, the software Patricia® offers a variety of possibilities to enable decentralized IP work.

Patrica Extension “EDMS” – The extended document management system offers as an add-on the frequently desired feature of being able to access stored files and especially the associated documents from anywhere.

Patent attorney Michael Fleuchaus outlines possible developments in the IP industry with regard to the home office and the changing requirements in an article worth reading.
