Nihon IR Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has renewed the product lineup of its intellectual property management system, the "MASYS Series". This renewal reorganizes the product lineup and expands standard features to support a comprehensive management system aligned with the global needs of IP practice. Functions for managing foreign patents, foreign trademarks, and designs, previously offered as separate products, have been integrated into the main products "MASYS-PA" and "MASYS-TR". Optional features such as cost and contract management have also been added as standard functions. Furthermore, a dedicated, cost-effective maintenance and support plan has been newly added for users managing IP by themselves. We aim to offer this as an IP management system that is easier to implement and better fits practical needs for companies with small teams or those considering a transition from Excel management. Background of the Renewal In recent years, companies' IP management operations have increasingly required the cross-sectional management of a wider range of information, including foreign filings, designs, trademarks, contracts, and cost management, beyond just domestic filings. Meanwhile, in small and medium-sized enterprises or IP departments with limited staff, it is common for dedicated personnel to manage deadlines, right maintenance, and costs using tools like Excel. In such situations, there are many needs such as, "feeling the limitations of deadline management with Excel," "wanting to manage foreign filings and trademarks collectively," and "wanting to use a system that fits our company's operational scale, rather than a large-scale system." Based on these practical needs in IP management, we have reviewed the product lineup and features of the MASYS series.
