🔍Key takeaways from the Prosecution Alerts webinar

In our webinar we dove into how you can automate patent monitoring and why it’s no longer optional in a fast-moving IP world.

Prosecution alerts are automated notifications used to track key changes to the file history of patent applications. Sent via email, they help users stay informed about various events related to a specific patent. Such as publication, grant, opposition, or changes in legal status​.

Prosecution Alerts help you: 

  • Monitor competition ✅
  • Keep up with legal updates ✅
  • Save hours of manual work  ✅
  • Tailor frequency and content of alerts ✅

It’s the smart way to stay proactive, not reactive.

Cast your mind back to monitoring patents manually, it is slow and error prone.

  • Status changes happen sporadically.
  • You need to check manually app by app. 
  • There’s no guarantee you’ll catch changes in time!

And if you’re monitoring hundreds of applications whether for clients or competitors it’s just not scalable!

So what is our modern solution? In short, whether you’re tracking your own portfolio or a competitor’s:

  • Get updates on file wrappers, continuity, and transaction history
  • Tailor alerts by frequency: daily, weekly, monthly quarterly
  • Share alerts and access documents instantly from your inbox
  • Direct links from the alert to the file wrappers

We track our client’s applications but how can the tracking of your competitors help?

  • Monitor infringing technology & act fast  
  • Predict new product launches 
  • Track litigation exposure 
  • Benchmark prosecution speed or outcomes 

Remove the need to regularly visit Patent Office websites for these updates and gain a competitive edge without creating extra work.

  • Each application update is linked to an interactive and sharable family tree
  • Alerts include updates even when child records have been filed but are not yet published, adding additional warning of future filing.
