Our take

Securing patents and protecting intellectual property (IP) can be an expensive and time-consuming process. Questel solves this problem by streamlining the innovation lifecycle.

The company offers an end-to-end platfrom that allows businesses to search, analyze and manage inventions and IP assets. Questel's solutions save businesses between 30-60% on their prosecution budget too, highlighting why companies are attracted to their platform.

Having spun off from France Télécom (now Orange) in 2001, Questel has proven that it has significant staying power. In recent years, they have acquired a number of companies in order to expand their product, which forms a vital part of Questel's strategy to continued success in the IP market.
