Continuous patent prior-art search, crossing external (EPO, USPTO, WIPO, INPI) and internal (R&D notebooks, papers, prior products). Catches what threatens your IP before you file — and before a competitor scoops you.
Your lab notebooks, unfiled invention disclosures and internally
documented prototypes are the most sensitive asset you must
not exfiltrate. But patent prior-art search requires precisely
crossing those documents with public corpora — and every SaaS
tool (PatSnap, Questel, Derwent) asks you to upload your
technical descriptions.
Patent Watch ingests your notebooks via connectors (Confluence,
GitLab, SharePoint) and the public patent corpora (EPO Espacenet,
USPTO Patents, WIPO PatentScope, INPI). Everything stays on your
LAN.
Before every filing, exhaustive scan:
- No external patent blocks the claims
- No internal memo / paper / lab notebook published it earlier
(classic pitfall: a 3-year-old internal conference paper that
destroys the novelty of your claim)
- Claim amendment suggestions for fragile claims pre-filing
On your active patents, daily monitoring:
- New external patents overlapping your claims
- Products / publications that may infringe
- Risk-scored alerts to the IP director
On your 10-30 strategic competitors:
- Their patent portfolio mapping
- Strategic-pivot detection (filing drop in domain A, explosion
in domain B)
- Alerts on filings that may target your IP
Contract analysis in seconds: executive summary, key-clauses mapping, risk flagging, comparison against your firm's internal precedents.
