This workflow automates the critical but manual process of attributing IP filing costs and inventor effort back to specific R&D projects in ERP systems like SAP or Oracle. By connecting invention capture triggers from tools like Anaqua or docketing systems directly to project codes in the ERP, it eliminates spreadsheet reconciliation, provides real-time visibility into the IP yield of R&D spend, and triggers automated invention harvesting at key project milestones. The operational upside is direct: improved capital allocation, defensible R&D tax credit substantiation, and faster identification of high-value projects.
