Stanley Black & Decker, a world-leading provider of tools, storage, commercial electronic security, engineered fastening systems and more has purchased software solutions from CPA Global, the world’s leading provider of intellectual property (IP) management services and software. Stanley Black & Decker is implementing CPA Global’s FoundationIP, a Software as a Service (SaaS) IP Portfolio Management System. The company will also entrust its large patent and trademark portfolio to CPA Global’s Patent and Trademark Renewals Service to manage and monitor its IP renewals around the world.

CPA Global’s FoundationIP provides the secure, comprehensive and scalable software platform that Stanley Black & Decker felt necessary to meet their distinctive requirements.

With CPA Global’s long history of being the top global provider of patent and trademark renewals, the union made perfect strategic sense. In addition, with the recent acquisition of Landon IP, CPA Global will continue to support Stanley Black & Decker with patent research and analytics services.

Todd Brydges, Business Manager at CPA Global, remarked: “Stanley Black & Decker is a highly successful, enduring company that truly understands the importance of innovation and protection of its intellectual property. CPA Global is thrilled to expand our existing business relationship by installing FoundationIP, and also by moving the company’s several thousands of patents and trademark records into our Renewals system.

At CPA Global, our aim is to truly engage with our clients as strategic partners and we look forward to expanding our role as a trusted resource for Stanley Black & Decker.”
