Our Patent Citation Watch means you can now get an early heads-up on instances when the PTO examiner cites any patent in your portfolio. Each week we will watch your entire portfolio against all newly issued patents, and report any citation the examiner makes relative to your patents. Now your entire patent portfolio, even third-party patents you want to keep watch over, can be monitored for when they are referenced by an examiner.

Just like our trademark-related Bulk TM Watch and 2(d) Citation Watch services, we’re now giving you portfolio-wide patent coverage at an affordable cost.

We can also track any specific action noted within the transaction history for any given set of patents. Ask us about how we can best assist your needs.

Just launched is our new TM search tool to assist your clearance and knockout searches, by providing you with one-of-a-kind information to help you predict prosecution outcomes. Armed with examples of similar marks that have been previously opposed or refused by the examiner under 2(d) or 2(e), you can now make more informed decisions and have the inside scoop on potential obstacles you may encounter!  Moreover, using this info to prepare your response to office actions or appeals can save you considerable time down the road, and we can easily refresh your results months later with the most up-to-date information from the PTO. Results are delivered to you within 24 hours (in many cases even same day) on our secure online portal. See first hand how this amazing tool can streamline and augment your own clearance process.

Just returned from the annual INTA conference where we had the opportunity to network with some of our existing clients as well as to meet potential new ones. As you can imagine, having the opportunity to meaningfully engage your client base, especially attorneys pressed for time, is a real challenge to most service providers. But it can be a very rewarding and insightful exercise… in a word, invaluable. We have some interesting new idea kernels to chew on, which will no doubt lead to more innovative products we hope to soon launch! Thanks to everyone we had the opportunity to meet, present to, and dialogue with. You ideas help incubate and evolve our products, so stayed tuned.

We’ve re-aligned pricing of our Bulk TM Watch to allow smaller IP firms to take advantage of this great tool. Now a base watch can start with just 100 marks, for about the cost of a premium coffee per workday. Same great ROI, same great coverage!

Smaller firms can also group purchase a Bulk Watch to take advantage of even greater economies of scale. Ask us how.

Our 2(d) Citation subscription continues to build popularity at a great pace. In just over a month, many of the top IP firms have caught the 2(d) fever and subscribed.  We really appreciate your enthusiasm, feedback and support, and look forward to bringing you even more innovation in services soon!
