Amphora Research Systems

Solutions that make your life easier and give you back time

With perhaps 20 to 50 scientists, smaller companies need to have their scientists working as effectively as possible. Securing the intellectual property they generate is vital as this is often licensed out as a main source of revenue.

Such companies often have scientists from a variety of backgrounds addressing different aspects of their problem. Using Amphora's PatentSafe solution everyone can use the tools best suited to their individual needs and can quickly and simply submit into their electronic notebook for signing and witnessing.

With full text searching across the entire contents of the notebook and the ability to automatically extract useful details such as experimental id's, projects or protocols it becomes simple to keep aware of progress, make sure you are using the correct experimental conditions and avoid unnecessary duplication of work.

It's not just the scientists who find life easier…

When you are eagerly awaiting the results of your next experiment making sure last week's - or month's - work is properly signed and witnessed isn't always at the top of your priority list, despite what operating procedures might say or lawyers might hope. Our customers have seen impressive improvements in compliance, often reporting work is fully signed off within 24 hours of submission. Additionally the ability to easily add results from any source can lead to better quality experimental writeups. It all makes for better protection of your intellectual property.

When the time comes to write up a report, or put together a patent application, being able to pull up experiments by project, investigator or keyword search makes the job much quicker and less frustrating.
