About us

A team of designers, inventors and enablers

At IP Servant we are convinced that good software can relieve people, simplify workflows and create genuine time savings. That’s why we develop solutions that are not only technically advanced but also truly helpful in everyday practice – for patent attorneys, law firms and IP departments.

Our team is constantly growing, both professionally and personally. We bring together specialists from law, software development, IT infrastructure, support, project management and public-sector consulting — united by one goal: creating modern, reliable software for demanding processes.

Our journey

1985

Pioneering spirit in the law-firm

Patent attorney Hartmut Degwert recognised early on the potential of digital tools and developed the first software solutions to support the renowned Munich firm Prinz & Partner. A foundation was laid for what would later become IP Servant.

2012

Foundation of IP Servant GmbH

With more than 25 years of experience behind it, an idea and product became a company. IP Servant GmbH was born – with the ambition of developing modern software for law firms and businesses.

2014

Growth and new services

In addition to IP management, IP Servant now offers services in system architecture and hosting – secure, reliable and tailored to individual needs.

2016

Entry into cash management

In the area of cash logistics, IP Servant supplies bespoke software solutions for deposit and withdrawal machines – including for a major quick‑service restaurant chain.

2018

New platform, new foundation

The technological base is being modernised. A new, future‑proof platform is emerging – IP Servant web – as a cloud‑enabled alternative to the existing desktop solution.

2019

Pilot operation with partner law firms

IP Servant web is entering pilot operation with selected law firms. What’s special: the desktop and web versions operate on the same database – combining the best of both worlds.

2020

Consulting & BOS specialist planning

Our second line of business is growing: our specialist planning team supports control‑centre projects in the German BOS sector – including major TETRA digital radio projects at state and federal level.

2021

Cloud release of IP Servant web

The next big step: IP Servant web is now also available as a SaaS – straightforward, scalable and secure. The rollout for new law firms and companies is beginning.

Seit 2022

Dynamism, team spirit & new ideas

Our team keeps growing – in development, support and project management. At the same time, we’re making IP Servant web technically ready for new features and bespoke law‑firm requirements.

2024/2025

New industries, new solutions

Building on our experience, we are beginning to develop a new solution for doctors and medical facilities – practical, efficient and secure.

What drives us

We believe in software that solves real problems.
In partnership on equal terms.
And in solutions that not only work, but also ease people’s workload.
