What is AQX Corporate?

AQX Corporate is an IP management software platform for corporate legal teams, used to streamline operations and enable strategic decision-making through process automation, business intelligence, and analytics.

It's simple... which is good, but limiting.

Pros

  • Well, it's super easy to find what your looking for, as there are so many different fields for searching. It even handles Boolean searches pretty well... and partial searches.
  • The layout is easy to read, logical and clear.
  • It seems like a fairly stable application. I don't recall it "going down" much.

Cons

  • The updates are few and far between. I have had issues where the laws surrounding docket requirements were slow to keep up and going in manually to change docket dates is kind of cumbersome. It's been a while though since I had to do that....
  • As a management for references, this leaves much to be desired. It is cumbersome to enter references and I'm not aware that is cross cites at all.
  • It does seems slow to changes-- we requested an annuity tab be added-- takes a while to implement.

Lecorpio - straight forward, easy to use

Pros

  • Lecorpio is easy to use. Uploading documents is very quick and intuitive, as is accessing them later.
  • The ability to edit the information in the system for each record is straight forward.
  • Creating new connected records off existing records is quite easy and allows you to easily edit important details before the final creation, which is a plus.

Cons

  • It would be nice if there was a place in each record that would show a map indicating how each record is connected to each other within a family of records. As in, which records were created off which records, as a sort of family tree.
  • When uploading documents to a record, you are often limited by uploading only a single document for each activity. Occationally it would be helpful to have the option to "add" more uploads. Alternatively, there is no way to remove an uploaded document without replacing it or deleting the activity completely. An "x-out" option would be helpful.
  • When you are adding activities, the activities automatically organize by the date they were created, rather than the execution date included in the record. There is no way to reorganize activities in a record in cases where documents were not uploaded chronologically. In this case, you have to delete all the activities that are out of order and re-add them, which is a time sink.

Return on Investment

  • As a system that is easy to use, it is a big time saver. We can quickly upload all the records were need with the no-nonsense interface, and get more done in less time.

Patent Prosecution Specialist's view on Lecorpio - there is room for improvement

Pros

  • It's convenient to have the whole case history, including correspondence in one place online.
  • It makes the patent prosecution process more efficient when everyone is using one platform and there are set, easy ways of doing certain things: for example, reporting takes less time when it's done via Lecorpio rather than drafting and sending emails.
  • It is more secure to send privileged documents via Lecorpio because the risk of typing a wrong email address and sending a document to the wrong person is eliminated.

Cons

  • Personally, I did not like the Lecorpio interface that we used (it was all dull grey), it lacked the aesthetic quality that other platforms have (for example, Ipendo)
  • Some of the features were confusing. Sometimes, we would report things under certain categories and then we would get emails from the client to upload them. It would have been helpful to have all features be very simple and straightforward, so that there is no confusion about where to find certain files. Simpler categorizations would have been nice.
  • By comparison, I think that Ipendo was more user-friendly and easy to follow than Lecorpio.
