I3PM stands for quality standards in IP management. We are a neutral body that supports the implementation of quality and standards of IP management. 

For companies, those standards provide important guidelines for designing effective processes and assigning tasks for IP management. A coherent IP strategy and the consistent consideration and mapping of the relevant IP processes in accordance with the standards lead to improved productivity, error prevention and an increased level of legal certainty.
