Streamline Prior Art Disclosures

Struggling to manage prior art disclosures and IDS filings efficiently? CPI’s Information Disclosure Statement (IDS) Module takes the complexity out of compliance by automating the capture, formatting, and filing of prior art with precision.

Whether you’re managing disclosures across multiple jurisdictions or preparing for routine submissions, our IDS Module helps your IP team minimize risk, avoid costly errors, and stay on top of regulatory requirements with confidence.

Because prior art compliance shouldn’t be a manual burden.
