MaxVal Group was founded in 2004 by patent attorney D. Bommi Bommannan and is headquartered in Los Altos, California. The company has grown to over 800 employees and serves a global client base of law firms and corporations. In 2024, MaxVal achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and entered a strategic partnership with Relecura to integrate AI-powered patent analytics into its platform.
MaxVal's flagship product Symphony is a modern IP management system built on Salesforce, covering invention disclosure management, patent prosecution docketing, trademark clearance and prosecution, portfolio management, annuity payments, and renewals. The platform also provides patent search and analytics services, patent drafting support, patent drawing creation, and paralegal outsourcing — offering a comprehensive managed services layer alongside the software.
MaxVal differentiates by combining a robust SaaS IP management platform with deep service delivery capabilities, enabling clients to handle high-volume prosecution workflows under a single vendor relationship. The Salesforce foundation provides enterprise-grade security, configurable workflows, and native CRM integration that large IP departments and law firms can leverage without custom development.
Best fit: Large IP law firms managing high-volume prosecution dockets, in-house IP departments at technology and pharmaceutical companies, and corporate legal teams seeking a unified platform for patent and trademark lifecycle management.
Hands-on review pending.
