<Trademark and Patent Alerts>
Once you are signed up in the system, any time a patent or trademark application is published that may infringe on your intellectual property, you will receive an alert - by email, fax, or mail, depending on your delivery preference - potentially providing you and your attorney with the information you may need to prevent the infringing application from being issued as a patent or trademark.
Monitoring is performed on a weekly basis for all new patent and trademark applications issued by the US Patent and Trademark Office . If any potential infringements are found for any of your patents or trademarks, an Alert Report is issued. You will receive a report package containing a summary page listing all of your patents and trademarks being monitored, and showing which specific patents and/or trademarks have potential infringements against them. A one-page report is then presented for each alert, providing key information regarding the potentially infringing trademark or patent.
