Wipro Partners with Microsoft to Deliver LPO services

New Delhi: Wipro Technologies today said it will provide global legal process outsourcing services to software giant Microsoft's intellectual property portfolio. In July 2008, Wipro began providing U.S. Patent and Trademark filing and docketing services to Microsoft's Intellectual Property & Licensing group. Microsoft previously had used a mix of in house resources, outside law firms and offshore vendors to perform these IP services.



Under this agreement, the BPO division of Wipro Technologies will provide global LPO services to Microsoft's IP portfolio, Wipro said in a statement. The statement, however, is silent on financial details. Wipro has developed the LPO framework, tools, trainings, controls and metrics required to drive high productivity and reduced costs for Microsoft, it added.

"The dedicated Microsoft team at Wipro has become a fundamental component of our global Patent operations function. The Wipro team works closely with our in-house team to manage one of the world's largest and most valuable patent portfolios," said Martin Shively, GM of Patent Operations at Microsoft.

Wipro and Microsoft will continue to jointly develop improved domain expertise and processes to further streamline IP processes, it added.
