About us

IP Soft­ware that works like you do

True to our mot­to “IP Soft­ware that works like you do”, GSI Office Manage­ment GmbH, based in Munich, has been sys­te­ma­ti­cal­ly desig­ning new pro­ducts and soft­ware solu­ti­ons for 35 years – always focus­sed on the needs of our cus­to­mers. With our fle­xi­ble and modu­lar IP manage­ment sys­tems IP Now and WiN­PAT we can indi­vi­du­al­ly map your work­flows for the admi­nis­tra­ti­on of all intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty rights such as trade­marks, patents and designs, whe­ther law firm or cor­po­ra­te — small or large.

The acti­vi­ties of an IP orga­niza­ti­on are in many respects based on stan­dard pro­ces­ses and can the­r­e­fo­re be sup­port­ed by a stan­dard pro­duct. But the­re are also indi­vi­du­al requi­re­ments to opti­mi­ze the pro­ces­ses in detail. Our WiN­PAT and IP Now pro­ducts address the enti­re spec­trum. You can use our IP manage­ment soft­ware “out of the box”. Howe­ver, you can also have us set up a solu­ti­on based on the­se pro­ducts that is adapt­ed to your spe­cial needs.

Our dyna­mic team con­sists of dedi­ca­ted employees who have been using their expe­ri­ence and know-how – and abo­ve all their pas­si­on – every day for over 30 years to opti­mi­se your working pro­ces­ses with our Intellec­tu­al Pro­per­ty Manage­ment soft­ware and our ser­vices with las­ting effect. We attach gre­at importance to a good working rela­ti­onship and good com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on throug­hout the enti­re team.

In our 15 minu­te “Dai­lies” at our Kan­ban board, we swap cur­rent infor­ma­ti­on and insights and tog­e­ther draw up solu­ti­ons to ongo­ing assign­ments. Our cus­to­mers are also the bene­fi­ci­a­ries of this sys­tem. Our slo­gan “… and the work flows …” is our gui­ding maxim in our dai­ly actions and it sum­ma­ri­ses our phi­lo­so­phy in a nuts­hell. This is our pro­mi­se to you: pro­fes­sio­nal pro­ject hand­ling and a high­ly dedi­ca­ted team.
