In today’s fast-paced market, protecting industrial design innovations is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. Industrial Design Idea & Design Disclosure Management Software provides a centralized, advanced platform that streamlines the capture, documentation, and protection of design ideas. With intuitive tools for collaboration and compliance, it ensures that your creative concepts are efficiently managed from initial ideation to legal safeguarding, helping your organization secure intellectual property while fostering innovation.
Whether you are a startup or a large enterprise, it offers a comprehensive, user-friendly solution for managing, tracking, and protecting design disclosures effectively.
The software is designed to simplify the entire workflow of new design ideation. From the innovation team’s initial submission of a design disclosure or idea—including design images/views (top, bottom, left, etc.)-to in-house legal review, opinion generation, and obtaining approvals for filings across multiple jurisdictions, the software handles the process seamlessly.
It empowers in-house counsels, design teams, R&D managers, and IP teams to efficiently manage internal deadlines, correspondence, documents, and reminders. By digitizing traditional, paper-heavy processes, it creates a fully paperless workflow, significantly enhancing productivity and ensuring precise, error-free management of all aspects of industrial design disclosures.
Specially developed for corporations, the software integrates inter-departmental users—including in-house counsels, IP managers, designers/inventors, R&D teams, and HOD staff—while maintaining controlled access levels on a single secure platform.
The Deadlines Calendar provides a clear overview of all upcoming internal deadlines, keeping users organized and on track. With intuitive color-coding for different types of deadlines, it’s easy to prioritize tasks immediately. The Legal Software Suite also allows seamless synchronization with personal Google and Outlook calendars, ensuring your deadlines are accessible anytime, whether on your phone, tablet, or desktop.
The Dashboard offers a graphical interface that delivers at-a-glance visibility into key performance indicators (KPIs) related to trademark ideation processes. It serves as a progress overview of trademark and brand requests submitted by the business team.
The Company module is designed to capture and manage detailed information for all group companies whose teams initiate trademark or brand requests. By centralizing company data, the module enables seamless retrieval at various points in the application, ensuring uniformity and accuracy of information throughout the system.
The application enables categorization of entire portfolios based on the organization’s divisions and sub-divisions, ensuring a well-structured data view. Access rights to division-level portfolios can be restricted according to user-defined permissions.
The platform enables organizations to capture, manage, and access complete Design Idea or Design Disclosure information—including documents, deadlines, and related data—from the moment the innovation team submits a request for legal evaluation and search reports through management and business approvals for filing industrial designs across multiple jurisdictions. All information is maintained in a centralized repository, ensuring a streamlined, efficient, and transparent workflow across the organization.
The software supports an automated workflow that governs the entire lifecycle of a Design Idea or Design Disclosure, from initial submission to final decision-making.
A centralized docketing system allows users to securely store and retrieve all case-related documents, deadlines, and details anytime and from any location.
Design teams and inventors can easily submit Design Idea or Design Disclosure forms directly within the system, providing comprehensive information required by the legal team to assess the novelty and viability of the design. During submission, the system facilitates approval requests from senior management, ensuring a structured and auditable review process. All activities related to the processing of a new design disclosure are logged, making the workflow efficient, accountable, and transparent.
The platform supports docketing of multiple document types and allows users to download documents individually in PDF format or export all selected files together as a ZIP archive.
Key instructions related to each Design Idea or Design Disclosure can be stored centrally, allowing for quick reference and easy access.
Users can record and track all critical deadlines associated with Design Ideas or Design Disclosures within the docket. Once a deadline is completed, it can be closed with a documented reason. The system provides detailed deadline views, enables assignment of responsibility to specific users, and allows deadlines to be shared with divisions or sub-divisions through a single-click email using pre-configured templates.
The software offers comprehensive summary reports covering all Design Idea and Design Disclosure records. Users can apply a wide range of filters to extract relevant information, customize the report output by selecting specific columns, and export the results to Excel.

Through deadline reporting, users can generate lists of upcoming deadlines approaching within a selected time frame. These lists can be refined using multiple filters and exported to Excel. Deadlines may be closed directly from the report with a reason provided. Users can view additional details by clicking the arrow icon or move directly to the associated case for further investigation.
The document reporting feature allows users to retrieve lists of documents recorded in the system within a specified date range using various filtering options. Documents can be downloaded individually or exported in bulk as a ZIP file. For example, users can download all search reports for a specific company or division during a selected period. Users may also navigate to the related Design Idea or Design Disclosure case to review document details in context.
The system allows users to define reusable variables within master settings, enabling consistent use across the platform. This minimizes repetitive data entry, enhances scalability by replacing hardcoded values with dynamic configurations, and ensures uniform data for accurate filtering and reporting.
The system allows users to store invoices received from agents and attorneys for search reports or legal opinions related to Industrial Design Ideas or Design Disclosures. It also enables recording of payments made against these invoices and provides analytical reports to track expenses incurred and corresponding payments.
