About this service
Monitoring has two uses. It tells you about competitors' filings that may affect your plans, and it shows third-party applications that could come too close to what you already hold. We can also follow the legal status of chosen patents, such as lapses, transfers and fees due.
What is included
- A watch profile built with you: technologies, competitors and classification codes
- Regular checks of new publications in the countries you choose
- A specialist reads the results and filters out what does not matter
- Short reports with links to the documents and a note on what we think

Monitoring reports what has been published. Publication usually comes some time after filing, so very recent applications will not be visible yet.
