Patent searching and watching
Novagraaf can carry out patent searches to identify patents in specific areas of technology, locate and check the status of families of patents and identify patents in the names of competitors.
A patent watching service can also be set up to include regular watches by owner name or by technical subject matter.
Patent Search Services
Patent searches can be used to identify documents relevant to a particular field of technology relevant to patentability, validity and patent infringement issues.
Searches can cover patent records from around the world and can be performed by applicant or owner or inventor name, or by technical subject matter.
Searches can be used to identify patents that could prevent the commercialisation of a new product or the implementation of a new manufacturing process, for example. It is important to conduct such searches to ensure that valuable investment money is not wasted and to avoid having to withdraw your product leading to potential loss of reputation and possible payment of substantial compensation to the patent owner.
Patent Watch Services
A patent watching service can be used for many purposes. We can monitor of the status of pending patent applications to ensure that oppositions are filed in a timely fashion or simply monitor the applications being filed by a named competitor or for a specific technical subject matter, for example.
The frequency of the watch can be tailored to your specific requirements, but it is generally done on a monthly or quarterly basis.
