IPzen vs Tradespace

IPzen is web-based trademark and intellectual property management software focused on trademark portfolios. Its tracking tools cover applications, registration status, renewals, potential infringements, oppositions, litigation, and limitations. Portfolio search can filter records by expiry date, registration number, class, product or service, and geographic area. The service provides trademark legislation from around the world and calculates renewals and affidavits using applicable rules. A domain module handles registration and renewal tracking, technical settings, TLD availability checks, DNS and zone file changes, and Excel exports. Its document library accepts PDF, JPEG, DOC, DOCX, TXT, XLS, XLSX, ZIP, and SMD files, with templates and record organization. An optional invoicing module can generate invoices, tailor client billing profiles, email invoices, and track payments. IPzen says clients receive an encrypted virtual machine, dedicated database and storage, 256-bit SSL communications, and ongoing backups in Paris and Amsterdam; virtual machine backups are archived every 15 minutes and servers monitored 24/7. Plans include €50 a month for 500 files and an additional user. IPzen was founded in 2008 and is based in Paris and London.
