In the area of new and emerging technologies, patent monitoring allows companies and related institutions to focus R&D on specific areas of interest; to be aware of what is happening around the world within their technical field or in a specific sector, and to gain insights into the market plans of various competitors.
You need a watch on patents or brands
- To follow the evolution of technologies in your business sectors
- To protect your own inventions by verifying that published patents do not infringe yours
- To ensure that your own invention is really new
- To monitor the patents published by known inventors or identified competitors
- To detect the appearance of certain patents
- To verify through the press the use of a brand (evidence of use, degeneration level of the brand...)
- To identify if a word included in a brand, which patent application is on project, has already been used, and in what context
- To search for existing traces of a brand use before taking an action for forfeiture of this brand
FLA Consultants supports companies with relevant patent searching and monitoring services by saving them time and money.
