CPA Global, the world’s leading intellectual property (IP) management and software specialist, announced the acquisition of First To File, a Silicon Valley-based developer of electronic document management systems, specifically tailored for the IP industry.
The acquisition enables CPA Global to offer clients a proven, IP-specific, electronic document management system (DMS) that can be delivered either as an independent service or tightly integrated with CPA Global’s market-leading IP management software solutions. CPA Global and First To File already have a number of clients using both companies’ products in an integrated solution; this acquisition will accelerate the level of integration between the products. First To File will also continue to actively support IP management and docketing systems from other vendors.
With headquarters in San Mateo, California, and operations in Boise, Idaho, First To File develops secure SaaS-based document management and collaboration solutions tailored to corporate IP departments and law firm IP practices.
