Patent Monitoring
An indispensable tool for reviewing the IP of competitors.
Patent monitoring is an indispensable tool for companies to maintain an up-to-date overview of their competitors’ intellectual property rights.
Serviva provides patent attorneys and companies with the basis for carrying out this important task.
- Competitor and technology monitoring
- Legal status monitoring
Professional patent management involves monitoring competitors’ patent applications. This applies both to existing patents, the status of which may change, and to newly published patent applications, in accordance with specified criteria.
Only those who are informed in good time about newly published applications or changes can respond appropriately.
Competitor and Technology Monitoring
Do you want to be the first to know what your competitors are doing or which new intellectual property rights are being published in your field of technology?
Serviva GmbH will work with you to draw up a list of competitors and/or an overview of the relevant patent classes in your field of technology. Once the monitoring service has been set up, you will receive the results on a monthly or bimonthly basis (via email or data room – encrypted or unencrypted) in report form (PDF, MS Word, Excel) or as a data feed.
We would be happy to advise you on a suitable monitoring profile as part of an initial search (test report).
Legal Status Monitoring
Monitoring the legal or procedural status is a convenient and cost-effective way of keeping abreast of the status – and thus the actual effect – of known intellectual property applications, for example during the grant procedure, as well as of the abandonment of intellectual property rights.
Our legal status monitoring service offers you a wide range of options: from tabular overviews to targeted monitoring of individual events (e.g. grant) or groups of events. Prompt, worldwide – with explanations for non-specialist recipients on request.
We are happy to use the publication numbers you specify for monitoring or to search for them on your behalf. We monitor the events you select and are happy to advise you on your choice. Naturally, we adjust the monitoring for you at regular intervals.
