SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson IP Management Services, a part of Thomson Reuters, today released Thomson IP Manager 3.1, an enterprise-scalable software application for intellectual asset management. The new release has deep integration to external document management systems for improved collaboration, data sharing and decision making. Thomson IP Manager helps companies more effectively manage their intellectual assets, automating the tracking of innovations, patents, trademarks, designs, licensing agreements and more.

"Thomson IP Management Services is committed to supporting the collaborative processes that drive successful IP management teams, including the ability to share documents and present information to users in a way that makes sense to them," said Adam Kenney, product manager at Thomson IP Management Services. "The new release gives users unprecedented access to information in their document management systems, across all areas of the solution."

Thomson IP Manager brings together the necessary components for IP management in a centralized repository, integrating portfolio data, work flow task management and LDAP synchronization with corporate user data.
