AVIATION COMPANY LILIUM TO USE ANAQUA TO HELP NAVIGATE CRITICAL IP MANAGEMENT

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 (Bernama) -- Anaqua, the leading provider of innovation and intellectual property management solutions, has announced Munich-based aviation company Lilium, positioned to be a global leader in sustainable regional air mobility, will use Anaqua’s AQX platform to help navigate its critical innovation and IP management processes.

Using the Lilium Jet, an all-electric vertical take-off and landing jet, offering industry leading payload, low noise and high performance with zero operating emissions, Lilium is creating a sustainable and accessible mode of high-speed, transportation for people and goods.

Working with aerospace, technology and infrastructure leaders, commercial operations are projected to begin in 2024.

AQX will deliver integrated patent analytics through Anaqua’s AcclaimIP solution, and provide a specialist trademark management module. Patent and trademark renewals will be managed through Anaqua Services.

“We are excited to be working closely with Lilium, providing an integrated IP management system that will support and enhance their global innovation and operational excellence, and help protect their valuable IP assets.”

Wulf Höflich, Lilium’s Head of Intellectual Property – Engineering said: “We were looking for a solutions provider who could work as an extension of our team to help manage our critical innovation and IP management processes. They needed to be able to provide excellent docketing and reporting tools, detailed IP analytics and FTO search capabilities, and enable seamless collaboration between our various stakeholders. And it all had to be implemented quickly. Anaqua were able to deliver on all these criteria.”

Anaqua’s global operations are headquartered in Boston, with offices across the US, Europe, and Asia.
