Clarivate Plc (NYSE: CLVT) announced that Winbond Electronics Corporation (TSE: 2344) has deployed IPfolio, Clarivate’s cloud-based intellectual property (IP) management platform, to modernize and streamline its IP operations. The platform’s implementation has significantly enhanced data accuracy, operational efficiency, and collaboration across the organization.

Transforming IP Management

By integrating IPfolio, Winbond has achieved a 90% improvement in data accuracy thanks to seamless synchronization with Clarivate’s IP data, eliminating the risk of error-prone manual entry.
