Salary benchmarks
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 platform that allows businesses to search, analyse 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, it has acquired a number of companies to expand its product, which forms a vital part of Questel's strategy for continued success in the IP market.
