ALEXANDRIA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CPA Global, the world’s top intellectual property (IP) management specialist and a leading provider of legal services outsourcing (LSO), is pleased to announce that Condo Roccia, a Philadelphia-based boutique IP firm, is utilizing CPA Global’s FoundationIP software and paralegal outsourcing services to support its patent portfolio and management practice.
Founded by Joseph R. Condo and Vincent J. Roccia, former partners of Woodcock Washburn, Condo Roccia offers a new, cost-effective delivery model that embraces remote working capabilities and allows the firm to reduce expenditures on real estate and internal technology infrastructure.
“The FoundationIP platform complements our new business strategy perfectly,” said Vincent Roccia, founding partner of Condo Roccia. “Managing in-house technology systems drives up costs, negatively impacting profitability. Entrusting a highly qualified expert such as CPA Global with the technology supervision piece means we can spend the time we’ve saved focusing on portfolios and better serving our clients.”
Offering an innovative approach to IP management, FoundationIP enables corporations to bring increased efficiencies to managing their intellectual property and law firms to do the same for clients. The secure, hosted solution eliminates the need for extensive internal IT resources and infrastructure, and because the system is preconfigured and does not require hardware installation, users are quickly up, running and productive. Additionally, FoundationIP stores all IP assets in a consolidated database that can be accessed via the web, permitting colleagues and external clients to work collaboratively in the system. The system is designed to grow as an organization’s business evolves, making it highly flexible for both small and large law firms and companies.
“Our FoundationIP management software is the most comprehensive yet easy-to-use tool on the market,” said David Ruddy, account director at CPA Global. “We’re excited by the opportunity to help Condo Roccia launch their patent portfolio and management practice and are thrilled they selected CPA Global as their software provider of choice.”
In addition, Condo Roccia is implementing CPA Global’s paralegal outsourcing services, which provide patent procurement and portfolio development support during all phases of the patent lifecycle. These services are ideal for firms, such as Condo Roccia, whose approach is to focus internal resources on client services instead of more administrative IP management tasks.
“We realize that the legal field is changing, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of an innovative process,” said Roccia. “We’re embracing new ways of approaching the legal profession such as teleworking, and utilizing CPA Global’s high quality paralegal services allows our associates to spend more time thinking strategically.”
