Patent Cockpit is a cloud-based intellectual property (IP) management platform built by Artemis IPM GmbH (Basel, Switzerland) for small and medium-sized enterprises. It gives IP managers, R&D leaders, and executives a single, centralized place to track patents, utility models, trademarks, and designs instead of relying on spreadsheets. The platform focuses on portfolio transparency: it lets teams see which products are covered by which IP rights, monitor renewal deadlines and costs, and generate investor-ready reports and cockpit-style dashboards. Higher tiers add trademark and design tracking, configurable dashboards, patent monitoring, forecasting scenarios, Excel export, document management, and renewal-fee handling. Patent Cockpit positions itself as an alternative to administration-heavy legacy IP tools, emphasizing ease of use so that non-specialist stakeholders (finance, leadership) can also understand portfolio value and cost.
Key Features

Configurable Dashboard & Monitoring — Configurable dashboards and patent monitoring available from the Premium tier.

Free plan available (up to 5 IP-right families) with no credit card required
Pricing and features scale with portfolio size, so small teams aren't paying for enterprise complexity
Investor-ready reporting and cost/renewal tracking aimed at non-specialist stakeholders
Built specifically for SMEs rather than adapted from enterprise law-firm software
Cons
Paid plans start at roughly €2,620/year, which may be significant for very small teams beyond the free tier's 5-family limit
Trademark and design tracking, plus advanced dashboards and patent monitoring, are gated behind the Premium tier and above
Document management, renewal-fee management, and case entry are optional add-ons on lower tiers rather than included by default
