IP Portfolio Tracking Made Simple with Lex AI
Your outside counsel charges $750/hr to review a 12‑page NDA. Lex reviews it in 90 seconds, flags the 3 problematic clauses, and tracks every IP agreement you’ve ever signed.
The IP Portfolio Tracking problem most teams have
- $12,000/month spent on contract managers who manually log 200+ IP agreements each quarter. That’s 60 hours of work that could be automated.
- 30% of renewal dates slip past the compliance window, leading to unplanned licensing fees or loss of patent priority.
- $1.2 M in potential licensing revenue goes untapped because the team can’t see which patents are in-market versus dormant.
How Lex owns IP Portfolio Tracking end-to-end
Lex stitches together the key pieces of an IP‑centric contract ecosystem:
- AI contract review – Lex parses NDAs, MSAs, and vendor agreements, pulling out IP clauses in <2 minutes.
- IP portfolio tracking – Every patent, trademark, and license is cataloged with status, expiration, and renewal alerts. Lex updates the dashboard in real time.
- Regulatory change monitoring – When a new jurisdiction updates filing requirements, Lex flags the affected agreements and recommends action.
- e‑signature orchestration – Lex routes renewal paperwork through the correct approvers, then signs and stores the documents automatically.
A concrete Lex workflow
Before Lex
- A mid‑size SaaS firm (15‑person legal team) spends 25 hours weekly hunting down IP clauses in 200 contracts. Renewal alerts are sent manually via email, leading to a 12‑day lag on average.
Lex steps in
- Uploads the firm’s 200 contracts to Clozure.
- Lex reviews each contract in 90 seconds, tagging IP clauses and adding them to the IP dashboard.
- Lex automatically schedules renewal reminders 90 days before expiry, sends e‑sign requests, and logs completed agreements.
- When a new EU trademark regulation is published, Lex updates the affected entries and suggests a compliance checklist.
After Lex
- The firm reduces manual hours from 25 to 5 per week, saving $9,000 annually. Renewal lag drops from 12 days to 0. Renewal compliance rates rise from 68% to 99%. The IP portfolio value—previously hidden—now shows $1.5 M in active, renewal‑ready assets.
