Why don't you automate that tedious intellectual property administrative work with RPA?

Do you have any of these problems?
- The lack of manpower increases workload for staff in charge of patent administration.
- It is hard to take time off because of the small number of people in charge of the IP administration.

Case Studies of RPA Utilization
Case #1: Reminder of the deadline for requesting an examination
Scenario: Extract unexamined cases that are due in a predetermined period from the IP management system and send a list of the cases to the relevant parties by e-mail.
Case #2: Reminder to consider whether or not a foreign application is required
Scenario: Extract Japanese applications that have been filed for six months from the IP management system, and send a list of the target cases to the relevant parties by e-mail.
Case #3: Data entry from a list of cases
Scenario: Obtain necessary information from the list of target cases in Excel and enter the information into the IP management system.
Case #4: Registration of patent files
Scenario: Upload the patent file of the corresponding case from the Excel list to the IP management system.
Case #5: Verification of data (double-checking the due date of the request for examination)
Scenario: Extract cases that have been filed for 18 to 30 months from the IP management system and send the results (errata), which are checked against the data in the commercial database, to the parties concerned by e-mail.
Case #6: Verification of data (double-checking the due date of payment for annual fees)
Scenario: Extract information (registration date and number) about cases the registration dates of which are before six months to the day before the search from the IP management system, and send the results (errata) by e-mail to the parties concerned after checking against the commercial DB data.
Case #7: Update of the master data on employees
Scenario: When a new employee joins or an employee leaves the company, the employee master data in the IP management system is updated and registered based on personnel data.
Case #8: Aggregation of rewards
Scenario: Twice a year, extract semiannual cases eligible for rewards paid at the time of filing and at the time of registration from the intellectual property management system, and output them in CSV format. Total the amounts of payment for each inventor depending on the contribution rate, and create business forms for payment.
Case #9: Notice to inventors of the amount of rewards
