A Future-Ready IP Function Through TOM and Technology

From a Bloated IP Function to a Strategic IP Team

A global organisation needed to reduce the operational burden on its IP function. Through partnering with PSS Solutions, it redesigned its operating model, outsourced non-core activities and enabled its internal team to focus entirely on strategic IP priorities.

Challenge

Refocusing a Bloated IP Function on Core Value

A leading global pharmaceutical company needed to streamline its IP function by externalising non-core activities and leveraging technology to automate routine administrative work.

Solution

Building a Future-Ready IP Function Through TOM and Technology

Leadership developed a new Target Operating Model (TOM) and a sourcing strategy. They integrated technology to support both internal strategic work and outsourced operations, where there was value in doing so.

Impact

A Strategic IP Team, Fully Focused on High-Value Work

The IP team shifted its focus entirely to high-value strategic priorities, while outsourcing nearly all prosecution and administrative tasks to external partners under stringently monitored Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
