When a user makes a mistake, the Minuet IProject’s system provides an error message and easy ways to correct any input. Minuet IProject’s UI allows retrieval of the most recent records with one click and if a record is closed by mistake, recovery of the record is easily made.

Minuet IProject’s daily auto-backup enables recovery of key records if incorrect data is added or removed from the system.

Can we have multiple users located in different locations?

Minuet IProject is a cloud based system accessible anywhere via the internet with data backed up every 24 hours.

Access to Minuet IProject is completely password and username protected so data cannot be accessed without first authenticating with a valid user account. User account access can be turned on or off via administrative functions so users who leave an organization or are banned from the application cannot use their previous credentials for access.


Secure access control options include:

  • Set control over user access and use rights by project or technology;
  • Access by groups or individuals;
  • User tracking  – when and who made changes to records.

Minuet IProject’s Researcher Portal allows continual contributions from research project collaborators. The Portal can hold multiple disclosure templates inside the Portal, suitable for a multi-department organisation with different invention disclosure needs.

Can Minuet IProject be used to track licensing and royalties?

Minuet IProject’s activity management easily tracks critical activities and action items across a business knowledge supply chain.

Identifying upcoming deadlines or due dates and creating tasks can be done under a user’s custom priorities.

This ensures the capacity to set critical date reminders for each aspect of IP management, including IP registrations and related licensing agreements.     

Activity management provides a process for generating, delegating and tracking IP management across activities or tasks including critical date reminders.

Form letter templates can be generated and emailed regarding IP management to allow greater efficiency in IP and project management.

Minuet IProject’s Sentinel Notification system can continually monitor and automatically report on matters that influence IP portfolio performance.

Is there support available for setup, customisation and on-going use?

Upon IP Active clarifying a customer’s requirements, including security access, reporting needs and interactions between IP elements, a plan is made to create the user’s own customised and secure cloud based IP system.

As certified Minuet IProject Administrators, IP Active offers a dedicated Minuet IProject ‘Customer Vault License’, customised to each client’s Intellectual Property management requirements. IP Active brings local Australian experienced Minuet IProject setup support and user advice.  We provide extensive system development and hands-on support services in the operation of the system while maintaining overall management and administration support.

IP Active will conduct system testing for data integrity and accessibility as well as monitor selected projects and the use of the Researcher (Inventor) Portal (IP register).

Customised training will be provided by IP Active targeting the use of Minuet IProject by a client’s staff and external users. This will include online training resources specific to the customised system implemented for the client. Materials such as SOPs and tutorial videos will support users in completing their IP Management tasks.  Help-desk support is also available from IP Active for staff in use of the system.

Engaging an Minuet IProject system through IP Active, provides:

  • Access to our local support and knowledge. We provide customised instructions built into the system, such as User Tips and the Research Portal instruction paragraph;
  • Written SOPs including screenshots of a client’s actual system;
  • Recorded videos of step-by-step use of Minuet IProject;
  • Phone help-desk available during local business hours and
  • Face-to-face  support either by an online meeting or in person site visit.

Will Minuet IProject integrate with our existing systems?

The option exists for system integrations to be developed to allow data to be automatically integrated within Minuet IProject.

Inteum offer an ‘Integrate for Inteum’ module,  an enterprise class integration gateway which allows connecting an Inteum system with a wide variety of databases and 3rd party applications, locally or in the cloud, to achieve automated data transfer goals.

‘Integrate for Inteum’ is an optional module with an additional charge and provides fully automated bi-directional data transfer with supported systems, currently for Company, Contact, Financial Receivable and Financial Payable records.

With support for over 400 databases and third party systems, ‘Integrate for Inteum’ provides complete flexibility to channel data into or out of an Inteum system throughout the wider enterprise.

Does Minuet IProject track emails?

An Outlook plugin and Inteum’s internal Email Manager both allow capture of critical emails within Minuet IProject.

Emails can be sent directly from Minuet IProject with the added benefit of tagged emails being automatically associated with the relevant record.  

This Email Auto Association feature allows email replies which include the tag to also be captured. Email attachments can also be saved and sent.

Can we trialMinuet IProject before fully committing to the system?

IP Active can provide a fully functional trial system to potential customers for the very purpose of testing and using the system prior to setting up a customised system.

The trial account can be set up within a day or two and access provided for a limited time (generally 2-3 months).

Data within the trial database is all fictitious with new users welcome to use the database as they want, however, as it is a shared database so no confidential data should be entered.

The main purpose of the trial software access, is to give users a chance to get to know the look and feel of Minuet IProject before they actually purchase it.
