Case Study: U.S. Largest Law Firm achieves rapid patent filings and thousands in monthly paper savings with DocuSign Signature Appliance

DocuSign Enhances Service at Leading International Patent Law Practice

A leading international patent law practice with hundreds of attorneys across North America, Europe and Asia was processing thousands of USPTO forms annually and struggled with slow, paper‑based workflows that required sealing to prevent alteration. The firm needed a secure electronic signing solution that allowed third‑party validation without extra software and met strict legal and regulatory security requirements.

They implemented the DocuSign Signature Appliance, an on‑premises signing solution that integrated tightly with the firm’s network and Active Directory and required minimal training. Implementation cut 2–3 day processes down to a few hours, replaced hundreds of “wet” signatures daily, boosted employee productivity, and saved the firm thousands of dollars per month in paper and processing costs.
