USPTO PAIR & EPO Patent Monitoring & Alerts
Automatically Track Patent Data & Prosecution Activity
Competitive intelligence is an essential component of any business strategy, especially when it comes to monitoring a competitor’s patent portfolio. However, anyone who has tracked a patent through the USPTO’s Public PAIR website or the EPO’s website knows how time-consuming and tedious the process is to find any new prosecution developments.
Cardinal’s USPTO PAIR and EPO Patent Monitoring & Alerts is a flexible service comprised of an intuitive cloud-based interface for service management and automated email notifications for registered recipients. Because of the management options available, the service can be administrated by use cases of all sizes, from individual attorney projects to full librarian administration. Cardinal’s friendly service staff works with customers to create an account custom to their needs and allows tracking in a single dashboard of all USPTO and EPO prosecution activity.
Cardinal obviates the burden of tracking on the USPTO’s public PAIR website and EPO’s website through automatic monitoring of application, patent, and reexamination proceedings of competitors’ patents. The service also enables a customized user experience by allowing each user to determine the delivery style and frequency of each notification. Whether analyzing litigation exposure, trying to get a jump start on pre or post grant review options, or crafting research and development plans, Cardinal will help you accomplish your goals.
