An anniversary note
One promise,
kept since day one
Patrice, Régis, and Olivier founded iPify in 2021 around one non-negotiable principle: we work with IP professionals, never around them.
Our mission is simple: understand your needs, equip you with the right solutions, and deliver the level of service that puts people back at the heart of how IP work gets done. Five years on, it's still the rule every decision answers to, across our validations service, our IP maintenance solutions, our platform, and the people we hire.

Why teams choose iPify
Our independence
Your advantage
No conflict of interest. No competing agendas. We work exclusively for IP professionals, with one purpose: to support your practice, not replace it. A truly independent partner dedicated to protecting your role at the centre of the IP industry.
Our technology
Your control
Reliable, intuitive software built for IP work. Workflows that add automation, transparency and control. Fully configurable, so the tools adapt to you, not the other way around.
A partner that works around your clients and your workflows, not the other way around. Real people in Lyon, Munich, London and Brussels behind every quote, renewal, and validation.
How we work with you
Listen. Tailor. Stay close.
We take the time to understand how your team already runs, shape the setup around that reality, and stay close long after go-live.
We listen first
We map your pricing logic, operational process, reporting needs and system constraints before we recommend anything.
We tailor to your workflow
We shape quoting, communications, branding and platform setup to fit your way of working and not force you into a default we built earlier.
We stay close
Named coordinators, direct lines and fast help from people who know your account long after onboarding.
Trusted by IP professionals
You deserve discretion, and so do our customers. That's why we share their feedback anonymously, while happily arranging direct introductions if you'd like to hear more.
Proof in the work
What working with iPify looks like in practice
Three places where iPify earns trust day in, day out: maintenance you can rely on, validations your clients receive under your own brand, and a platform your team actually wants to use.
IP maintenance
50,000+ payments, every year
Predictable jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction fees, zero missed deadlines, and direct IPMS integration so your team stops double-entering data and keeps the system they already trust.
