The requirements for using IP management software do not vary from region to region in many areas. Everyone who uses such software has specific needs regarding intuitive operation, responsiveness, targeted, direct processing, and fast results. However, there are significant differences by country or even, as discussed in this article, by continent. Today, we will specifically examine the differences between the US and Europe.

We've tried to highlight the differences and explain what we've achieved in Continux. Let's get started.

Legal Aspects

USA: Intellectual property management software is often modeled on the US patent system, with a focus on patents, utility models, and trademarks. A more centralized approach exists with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

Europe: The software must comply with a variety of national laws, the European Patent Convention (EPC) and the Unified Patent Court (UPC). Compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is also crucial.

User interface and language support

USA: Typically designed for English-speaking users, with a simple interface tailored to a more homogenous user group.

Europe: Continux is multilingual, taking into account the different languages ​​and cultural nuances of different countries. Yet, Continux features a simple user interface with a focus on user-friendliness.
