Patent Office Managed Technical Secrets Securely with SetFN

We were reluctant to put client technical materials on external servers

All materials handled in a patent attorney's office are technical secrets. Semiconductor designs, new drug development data, manufacturing process know-how, software algorithms, etc., containing clients' core technologies. If such materials leak externally, not only clients but our office would suffer significant damage.

The cloud storage we used previously was convenient but always made us anxious. Data being stored on overseas servers and service providers being able to access it anytime was concerning. Especially large corporate clients asked "Where exactly is our technical data stored?" expressing security concerns.

We manage technical materials only within our office using SetFN

We chose SetFN with security as the top priority. With data stored only on internal office servers and not going outside, we could confidently tell clients "Your technical materials never leave our office."

We created folders by client and organized materials by technical field subcategories. Each folder has different permission settings so only assigned patent attorneys and necessary staff can access them.

Technical material searches also became much more efficient. We search past application cases using technical keywords like "OLED light-emitting layer materials" or "wireless charging coil structure" and use them for patentability reviews or prior art searches of similar technologies.
