Minesoft offers several types of Alerting Services to track crucial patent information. These include PatBase Alerts, PAIR Alerts, Legal StatusTracker Alerts and CiteTracker Alerts. Here you will find a description of each option and how they can benefit you. This year, you can save your team hours of manual clicking and bypass repetitive checking assignments by setting up alerts early.

PatBase Alerts

PatBase Alerts can be created by any user within PatBase. Alerts are based on search queries which use the same search language as the regular PatBase search. This means that once you have perfected your search query, you can copy or import it into an Alert at any point. Receive alert notifications directly to your email when there is new information related to the search. This saves you time by removing the need to re-run the search manually in the Search History each week/month. PatBase Alerts can be sent to multiple email addresses at once, even to non-PatBase Users! Track new families and/or new publications that match your search with ease. Our very popular PatBase Alerts are great for scoping a technology landscape!

PAIR Alerts (USA)

US PAIR Alerts are a comprehensive and cost-effective way to track key competitors’ applications. Receive a summary directly to your inbox of all legal status changes, file history, transaction history and continuity data for selected applications. Each application update is accompanied by an interactive and sharable family tree, showing the full account of patent relationships in the style of a genealogy tree. Alerts include updates even when child records have been filed but are not yet published, adding additional warning of future filing. Save time and effort by removing the need to regularly visit Patent Office websites for these updates. See which patent applications pose a risk or opportunity for your company by receiving key information quickly through PAIR Alerts.
