Minuet
Inteum lists its world headquarters in Kirkland, Washington.
What it is
Minuet is an intellectual property management platform for technology transfer offices (TTOs), bringing portfolio records and office workflows into one system. It manages invention disclosures, patents, licensing agreements, and compliance workflows, with tracking for patent and trademark portfolios, prosecution deadlines, renewals, and filings. Inventor and Agreement Portals support disclosure submissions and agreement requests. Reporting includes more than 150 standard reports, with exports to 12 formats. Users can customize labels and forms, add unlimited custom fields—including calculated fields—and choose from 10 languages. Listed integrations include Microsoft Outlook, DocuSign, iEdison, Workday, and Salesforce; API access is also available. Minuet can create structured document summaries using an OpenAI model through Azure, but AI is opt-in and requires customers to configure their own Azure OpenAI endpoint and API key. Inteum says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with role-based access and audit logs. It runs on AWS, with a separate AWS GovCloud environment for eligible government workloads. Pricing is on request.
