Streamlining portfolio activities with the DIAMS iQ intellectual property management system
Interparfums is a French company that, over the long term, creates, develops and distributes fragrance and cosmetic lines for prestigious brands worldwide. As the olfactory partner of renowned fashion houses such as Lanvin and Rochas, Interparfums relies on a robust Intellectual Property (IP) strategy to safeguard its assets and market presence.
Given the importance of brand names, logos and design rights in the fragrance industry, effective IP management is essential to Interparfums' business strategy, which encompasses a global portfolio of approximately 6,000 active trademarks and designs. The company operates an in-house legal / IP department that oversees searches, filings, renewals and the global enforcement of IP rights across multiple portfolios.
Fragmented and time‑consuming processes
Previously, the company relied on an outdated trademark management system whose complexity increased administrative workload, hindered day‑to‑day productivity and raised concerns about the reliability and accuracy of data.
What INTERPARFUMS needed
With a portfolio comprising thousands of trademarks and designs across multiple jurisdictions, Interparfums was facing significant challenges due to its outmoded IP Management System (IPMS). As this legacy solution became increasingly obsolete, the company encountered mounting obstacles in efficiently managing its IP. Seeking to replace an ineffective tool, Interparfums aimed for a modern and robust system capable of streamlining IP management while reducing risk.
The Interparfums team required an intuitive and automated platform able to process complex data quickly and accurately, while minimizing errors and system failures. Key needs included a global IP rights map to visualize coverage, as well as automated deadline calculations to ensure uninterrupted protection.
Interparfums was looking for a more powerful and user-friendly IP management solution, one that could centralize its entire portfolio, automate repetitive tasks and deliver truly actionable insights.
