Intellectual property is all around us – it’s the output of innovation which gives us new products and technologies. Global online patent platform IamIP in collaboration with biotech company Sartorius discloses the release of its latest feature the “smart monitoring” tool. The AI-based solution will allow users to save up to 70 percent in time and generate more precise results when searching and monitoring patents.

Intellectual property is an ever changing landscape of innovation. In combination with the globalization of markets and the fragmentation of production value chains, market actors have had to adapt to a new logic to realize their new role within IP policy. The emergence of digital players such as IamIP drives change across markets, streamlines processes and challenges the set ways of how IP management traditionally has operated. The IP management software market is estimated to hit a valuation of $14.37 Billion by 2028. Rapid increase of IoT to drive demand for management software.

In collaboration with multinational biotech company Sartorius, IamIP unveils its latest product, the “Smart Monitoring” tool. The new feature allows users to more easily navigate among millions of patents. The AI-based software sifts through the database and automatically identifies the most relevant documents. It will rank the search result with a binary score of (1 and 0) score relevance. It will also provide the user with an AI-generated confidence score of every result.

Internal studies on the new software showed a 90 percent success rate and effectiveness in locating relevant results, which is an instantly more effective result than a completely manual human search or monitoring. The AI can be fed new information which will make the tool stronger and more effective in its work, by learning from future monitoring project iteration and data.

We’ve been working hard together with Sartorius to offer the new Smart Monitoring product that will make the life of IP professionals much easier. We can confidently say that thanks to this new feature, the complex and time-consuming work of reviewing the new patents captured by the weekly patent monitoring process will drastically be improved with around 70 percent in time savings.

Risk mitigation is significantly improved as the AI model analyzes the whole patent specifications without making any shortcuts, leading to the identification of all relevant patent documents. Our clients can ensure business continuity, as the process is not dependent on one single person anymore, who can get sick or be on vacation. It’s more than an upgrade, it’s a disruption.

Viktor Rudolf, Chief Product Officer & Cofounder of IamIP

In its effort to develop a digital service that is easily accessible and identifies actionable insights on patent information at your fingertips, IamIP has succeeded in optimizing an easy-to-use platform. Everybody is able to work with patents and collaborate to further encourage and drive innovation. The new tool was announced at the annual industry event IP Service World in Munich, and the tool will be widely available in the beginning of 2023.

For over 10 years now, I’ve been a part of this incredible journey of digitizing the IP industry that we know is plagued by complexity with over 3 million new patents filed every year. With the new Smart Monitoring we are building the first AI based brick of the future for the IamIP platform. I’m very proud of reaching a new milestone and really looking forward to the next to come.

But first things first: what is the legal status watch? 

The legal status watch monitors patent documents for their legal changes, i.e if a patent gets granted, if it expires, if the applicant changes, if an opposition is filed or any other legal event change during the lifetime of a patent.  

IamIP has developed a specific algorithm in order to show you at any time the legal status of a patent application, which is indicated by a traffic light symbol: 

• A red sign for patent applications that are not alive anymore
• A yellow sign for patent application that are still pending and  
• A green light for patent applications which are currently in force 

Why is this important to know? 

The legal status data of e.g. a competitor’s patent is very important and can have a significant impact on your business decision in case you want to 

• Start launching a product in a specific country,  
• Take a decision on continuing or stopping an R&D project, or 
• Understand the potential impact a 3^rd party patent application may have on your business 

If the patent application is still pending, you can expect that it won’t be granted, so a good step would be to set up a Legal status watch in the IAMIP platform. 

How our Legal Status Watch function looked like until now? 

Legal events are published by the national patent offices and is there e.g. available via the national registers.

Thus, a surveillance at the individual national patents offices per national patent application is possible. However, wouldn’t it be easier to be able to monitor the whole patent family in regards to all national patent applications and countries with just a click in one tool without the need to switch between these multiple national registers?  

IamIP gives you that possibility as we get the legal status data from the INPADOC database which covers more than 50 patent authorities. We have more than 1 billion legal events in our legal events database which means that our legal status watch function allows you to trace or monitor the patent and the legal changes in the IamIP platform without having to go to the different websites of each patent offices.  

So, if there is a document that you want to follow you can activate the legal status watch by clicking on the Wi-Fi icon next to the share button in the toolbar and then a symbol “Watched” will indicate that the patent family is monitored for a legal status watch. If there is a change in that patent family for example the European Patent  Application has become granted you will get an email notification and the patent will appear in the middle of the home page of the platform.  

What’s new? 

The Legal Status Watch feature has received many improvements as we adapted it to only update our users for changes that really concerns them. Thus, our users are now able to choose for a given patent family, a specific country(ies) and /or specific event types that should be monitoring according to their needs. You can see how the new version looks like compared to the older one and how many more options you have now. You are even able to invite a colleague of yours to participate in this legal status watch, if you believe its really important for him and for transparency purposes you now have the chance to leave a LSW Description. 

Legal Status Watch 2.0 offers new improvements in five different categories:  

1.Process: the process of setting up a legal status watch is changing as now you have more options. You can choose a country or countries to track in a patent family. So, from now on you can choose not to be alerted for the entire patent family. So, if your market of interest is only France, Germany, and Italy you can only monitor these. 

You will also have the possibility to choose the legal event to monitor. If you are only interested in tracking events such as grants, payments, and appeal, opposition, re-examination, limitation as shown it will be possible. 

Additionally, you will be able to add a comment and even choose the receiver of the notification in case of a change. So, if you share a portfolio with more than 10 people for example, you can choose the receiver instead of having everyone notified. 

2. Handling of captured events: There’s now a new “manage events” drop down menu that you can use to sort and manage the captured events. So, you will have the option to hide or to show events. 

3. Search: Now, when you are investigating a single patent application deeper, you will have an option to filter for the legal events that are of interest for you by clicking on the dot next to the data field name.  

You will, also, be able to use the filtering function in a portfolio, to monitor the patent for only one country instead of the whole patent family. If you choose a country, like shown here, Switzerland you will get results only for documents where the Swiss application was granted. 

4. New Data Fields: this improvement also changes how the legal status history looks like. We integrated new data fields in our database that we show to you in the legal status history, which will help you to quicker understand the impact of the legal event.  

5. Filtering: With the updated version you will be able to use the filtering function in a portfolio for only one country instead of for the whole patent family. If you choose a country, like shown here with Switzerland you will get results only for documents where the Swiss patent application was granted. 

The advantages of the updated Legal Status Watch

You might wonder why the feature got updated and what are the advantages it will provide you with in your patent monitoring process. You’ll be getting important gains such as: 

• more visibility on an event 
• less notifications:  you will only be alerted when there are changes for the specific country or countries you chose, when there are changes for the specific event or events you chose and you can define who should be alerted by a change  
• personalized tracking  
• better communication with colleagues 
• easier to check the history 
• better traceability of events: they do not disappear 
• saves time 

You can watch a video summary of our new feature here:

In the recent years IamIP has attracted multiple Enterprise customers and our solution supports hundreds of users in a single corporate license. But one of the problems is that each team member needs to set and remember their password and for every app this becomes a huge burden. Another problem for companies is that usernames and passwords are the main target of cybercriminals. Every time a user logs in to a new application, it’s an opportunity for hackers.

Therefore our CPO, Viktor Rudolf and CTO, Wojciech Nowicki decided to solve this by this new feature “Single Sign-On”.

“Integration with Microsoft Azure Directory SSO it’s a milestone in our platform development and important security feature. It shows that IamIP is a modern platform which can meet many user expectations. This integration allows businesses using MS in their organisations to include IamIP in their internal security policies. Of course, users now got the convenience of not having to remember an extra password.” says Wojciech Nowicki 

By offering this feature, our customers can be more secure and compliance, improve the usability and employer satisfaction and lower their IT cost.

The benefits for our users:

1. Using SSO you no longer have to set, remember and manage all your team member’s passwords for IamIP. Instead you can easily login using the same username and password that is used for Microsoft.
2. After enabling SSO, with a couple of clicks, team members are authenticated and able to get on with the job. SSO will be a dream come true for IT managers in larger organisations. No longer will they have to manage individual logins, which will be a huge time saver.
3. In addition, SSO’s user authentication process helps with security risk, by providing control over who accesses your IamIP data.
4. By setting up SSO with IamIP, your team can use the same login credentials they use for all your internal systems.

“I have talked to our customers that are now using the new “Single Sign-On” feature on IamIP and they can really see the benefits such a feature have created but as well that they now can fulfill IT requirements without being worried that proprietary information could leak out” says Viktor Rudolf.
