IamIP Secures New Partnership With German IP-Veteran & Closes a New Investment Round

The fast-growing global patent platform IamIP secures funding from Swedish and German VC firms specialized in B2B SaaS-platforms. This coincides with the announcement that German IP-software company SIP integrates with the Swedish company.

IamIP has a strong track record since its founding in 2013 and is rapidly becoming a digital challenger in the otherwise old-fashioned IP-industry. Today the company announced its integration with the German intellectual property software company SIP. This allows for further possibilities since it not only grants SIP users access to IamIP’s modern platform but simultaneously boosts mutual growth.

As I retire, I see the integration of SIP into IamIP as a successful partnership that provides our loyal customers with a cutting-edge technology IP-platform that opens up new opportunities. IamIP’s highly dedicated and enthusiastic team is constantly driving innovation on the platform forward, and they will continue to be a trusted partner for SIP customers in the future.

Hans Goslowsky, SIP Founder and CEO

Over the years, both companies have attracted multiple companies from SMBs to enterprise level customers, and their solution supports hundreds of businesses in their everyday IP-struggles. Several global innovative leaders such as Lufthansa Technik, Sartorius, Atlas Copco and Babybjörn, have all chosen to trust IamIP to facilitate their IP-needs and monitoring of competing interests.

Over the past ten years, IamIP has been able to show a significant and constant growth on the market despite macroeconomics uncertainty. It’s time to strengthen our international development and I’m thrilled to have closed this new investment round.

Dimitris Giannoccaro, Chief Executive Officer at IamIP

The integration with SIP will position IamIP as one of the main patent search and monitoring platforms operating in the DACH region. We are working very closely with the SIP team and their clients to ensure a smooth and seamless transition to handle their important patent matters. The whole IamIP team is very much looking forward to establishing and expanding a trustworthy collaboration with them.

Viktor Rudolf, Chief Product Officer at IamIP

IamIP recently closed a new investment round led by Stockholm-based investor Subvenio Invest. In addition, Acacia Asset Management from Stockholm and Senovo Invest, based in Munich, are deepening their involvement in the company. All investors specialize in B2B SaaS platforms and look for transformative market challengers in otherwise traditional industries.

About IamIP:

IamIP has digitized one of the few remaining paper-based and manually managed industries, the complex intellectual property industry. It’s a complex industry weighed down by the over three million new patents filed each year (annually increasing), and an estimated $20 billion wasted on R&D duplication in Europe alone.

With the help of sophisticated and intuitive business tools, companies can easily manage, analyze and visualize patent data in combination with business information (Big Data). Based on this information, companies can also calculate current and future patent costs in a more efficient way. The IamIP platform has over 5000 active users enabling global access to patents and providing review in 80 different languages. The platform thus offers an up-to-date and fact-based basis for companies’ decision-making processes.
