That\u2019s why we continue to invest in advanced tools that help IP attorneys, paralegals and legal operations teams work smarter, not harder.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point: <a href=\"\/intellectual-property\/ip-lifecycle-management\/patent-and-trademark-management-software\/foundationip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FoundationIP<\/strong><strong>\u2122<\/strong><\/a>, the first SaaS-based IP management solution, purpose built to increase IP team efficiency by leveraging automation and best in class country rules. It provides a flexible foundation for hyper-efficient IP management, helping you keep pace with growing demands. Now, as we continue to innovate and invest in FoundationIP, it\u2019s more powerful than ever. Read on to learn about some of the highlights:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Greater integration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There is now an easier way to integrate FoundationIP into your firm\u2019s broader technology ecosystem, thanks to our implementation of <strong>REST API<\/strong>. This application programming interface (API) enables you to share data updates across your systems in near real time, providing a single source of truth that enables IP teams to work more efficiently. Find out how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quartzip.com\/quartz-ip-news-1\/quartz-ip-integrates-practicelink-with-the-new-foundationip-rest-api-from-clarivate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quartz IP<\/a> integrated FoundationIP and PracticeLink using REST API.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Faster forms<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In May 2023, we introduced a significant upgrade to the process of creating Microsoft Word forms with the new <strong>Server-side Word Forms<\/strong>. It eliminates the intermediate step of using FIPMerge for adding report data into a Word merge template. Now, simply run any Word report and receive the document directly in your browser, with no extra step. Users can now generate Word forms in seconds instead of minutes or hours, saving valuable time and increasing productivity. It\u2019s a great example of how we\u2019re always looking for ways to improve the user experience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_241455\" style=\"width: 1082px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-241455\" class=\"wp-image-241455 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/intellectual-property\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-21-1.png\" alt=\"Server side Word Forms in FoundationIP\" width=\"1072\" height=\"624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clarivate.com\/intellectual-property\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-21-1.png 1072w, https:\/\/clarivate.com\/intellectual-property\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-21-1-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/clarivate.com\/intellectual-property\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-21-1-1024x596.png 1024w, https:\/\/clarivate.com\/intellectual-property\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-21-1-768x447.png 768w, https:\/\/clarivate.com\/intellectual-property\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/MicrosoftTeams-image-21-1-69x40.png 69w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1072px) 100vw, 1072px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-241455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Server side Word Forms in FoundationIP<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><strong>Improved help<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our new <strong>FoundationIP Information Center<\/strong> enables users to find the resources they need faster and more easily.
