Competitor monitoring

Patent monitoring

A competitor analysis provides valuable information on the recent patenting activity of your key competitors.

Targeted competitor monitoring through patent databases is an effective tool for staying up to date on the types of technologies your competitors are seeking to protect. Monitoring can be designed to focus on specific companies or even on individual patent applications based on your needs.

Competitor analysis can be carried out manually at regular intervals or set up as automatic monitoring profiles for continuous tracking. By following the progress of a competitor’s patent applications, you can respond in a timely manner for example, by adjusting the focus of your own product development or by filing an opposition against a granted patent. Our patent attorneys help you assess the relevance and impact of the monitored patents and applications on your business, giving you a solid foundation for strategic decisions

Trademark and design rights monitoring

Many companies hold trademark and design rights. A trademark or a design is often what distinguishes a company and its products or services from those of others. It is important to be aware of both your own and your competitors’ trademark and design rights so that you can allocate your resources to the right actions. Our trademark team will assist you in identifying your rights and carrying out any necessary preliminary searches and assessments.
