Next-Generation Patent Solutions: Launching Source IP’s Redesigned Client Portal

About the client

Source IP, a leader in global patent translation and foreign filing services, sought to modernize its client-facing digital platform while revamping its branding. With outdated tools and no cohesive brand identity, their platform was falling behind in delivering a great user experience and standing out in a competitive industry. 

Darwin stepped in to design a new client portal from scratch, craft an innovative company logo, and provide a comprehensive brand book. 

The result? A highly intuitive platform delivering an outstanding user experience, strengthened brand recognition, and features that positioned Source IP ahead of competitors. 

Introduction

Mission
Source IP is a globally recognized leader specializing in patent translation and filing services, providing tailored solutions for clients navigating intellectual property processes. With a key focus on international patents, they assist businesses in ensuring that their ideas can be protected in different markets. 

Despite their industry-leading expertise, Source IP's digital presence and branding weren’t aligned with their reputation. Their client portal lacked the functionality and design needed to meet modern client demands, and their branding didn’t effectively communicate their innovative and technical expertise. 
Problem Overview
They turned to Darwin to breathe life into their platform and branding, ensuring they could deliver both outstanding digital experiences and clear, impactful messaging. 

The Problem

Source IP encountered several challenges that were hindering their growth and impacting client satisfaction:

Key issues

Outdated Client Portal

Their existing client portal was outdated, difficult to use, and lacked the intuitive design clients expect when managing sensitive and complex patent filings. Without modern features, key workflows were cumbersome and required extensive manual input from clients and the Source IP team. 

Lack of Branding Consistency

Source IP lacked a cohesive brand identity. Their logo did not reflect their innovative nature, and they had no clear design guidelines for marketing materials or their digital presence. This inconsistency made it difficult for Source IP to make a strong first impression or build lasting recognition. 

Underwhelming User Experience

Client feedback highlighted usability challenges and inefficiencies in navigating and interacting with their services online. Competitors were gaining ground by providing better digital tools, leaving Source IP in danger of losing its edge in the market. 

No Distinct Competitive Differentiation

Without standout features or a distinct brand presence, Source IP was struggling to communicate why potential clients should choose their services over others in a crowded market. 

The Solution

Darwin partnered with Source IP to develop a comprehensive solution addressing both their branding needs and their client platform challenges.
