About
Computer Packages Inc. (CPI) provides a powerful, fully integrated Intellectual Property Management Software platform designed to cover every stage of the IP lifecycle — from invention disclosure through prosecution, registration, and global renewal. With over 55 years of industry experience, CPI has built a reputation for combining robust technology with hands-on client support. CPI's platform includes a real-time Patent Management System that automates prosecution workflows and keeps teams organized around deadlines, a Trademark Management System with integrated office data and renewal tracking, and a Disclosure Management System for capturing, evaluating, and advancing inventions from a single secure platform. The General Matters System handles contracts, litigation, and licensing agreements, while the Patent Annuity Service ensures accurate, on-time renewals across 100+ jurisdictions with transparent invoicing and no hidden fees. A key differentiator is CPI's commitment to customization: their in-house developers work directly with clients to tailor features and workflows, and unlimited training is included without forced upgrades. The Patent Audit Service rounds out the offering with automated and expert-reviewed data accuracy checks ideal for acquisitions, divestitures, or portfolio cleanups. CPI is best suited for enterprise IP teams, corporate legal departments, and patent law firms that need scalable, flexible IP management with deep customization and reliable global annuity management.
