Intellectual property and innovation for SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland

TIPM is a Geneva-based company specializing in intellectual property (IP), helping companies, particularly Swiss SMEs, to protect and promote their innovations. In addition to its consulting, training and outsourced IP management services, TIPM has developed IdeaHor, a digital platform that facilitates the management, evaluation and protection of innovative ideas. Aimed at organizations wishing to structure their creative process, IdeaHor makes intellectual property accessible to SMEs, a crucial issue in their digital transformation.

IdeaHor: an intuitive , AI-assisted platform

IdeaHor offers a secure, collaborative environment where every idea can be centralized, shared and tracked throughout its life cycle, from genesis to commercialization.

Key features include:

  • the Albert AI agent: this module helps to evaluate, enrich and clarify ideas, enabling users to fine-tune their descriptions before filing a patent.
  • qualified time-stamping: each idea is recorded with an official date and time, ensuring traceability and authorship of contributions - an essential point in the event of disputes. Based on the "hash" principle, this unique digital signature is the first legal step in authenticating your idea. 
  • security: the tool enables collaboration while defining levels of confidentiality and compartmentalizing the sharing of ideas with targeted individuals. Exchanges are thus smoother and more efficient, while protecting innovation
  • centralized dashboard and tracking: each idea is tracked in a structured way, avoiding duplication, keeping a clear view of progress and maximizing the use of resources.

Thanks to its intuitive interface and specific functions, IdeaHor enables SMEs to systematize and professionalize their idea management, while optimizing the time and costs associated with filing and defending intellectual property. This is an essential asset at the heart of the innovation process, and a fundamental step prior to patent filing, which can also prove decisive in the event of a commercial dispute and/or when dealing with major defense organizations such as the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), the IPI (Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property) or the EPO (European Patent Office).

Effective idea management is a real lever for growth and differentiation for SMEs.

WIPO's World Intellectual Property Report 2017 indicates that intangible assets (including IP) contribute on average 2 times more than tangible assets to the value of manufactured goods in global value chains. This shows that mastery of IP is directly correlated with the value created by companies.

At the same time, Swiss SMEs, which sometimes have limited dedicated internal resources to manage or develop patents, will find in digital tools like IdeaHor the ideal support to structure and secure their ideation processes and thus anchor innovation in their organization, based on best practices in intellectual property and digitalization.

So if you've ever asked yourself∙e of these questions, among others:

  • How can I protect my ideas without immediately having to file an expensive patent?
  • How can we prevent promising ideas from getting lost in mailboxes or notebooks?
  • How do you organize an in-house innovation process without mobilizing too many resources?
  • How can we promote our capacity for innovation to investors and partners?

Or if you simply want to find out more about the digital ecosystem and solutions in French-speaking Switzerland, joinArnaud Belladon, Founder & Director of TIPM, on the Alp ICT Youtube channel on September 30, 2025, at 11:30 am, for a live stream.
