You yourself must make sure that your interests and rights are monitored. When you have a patent, it is important that you keep yourself updated about what patents your competitors are applying for. That way you get the opportunity to oppose any patent which you do not think should be granted. Our online services include many search options which you can use for monitoring.

A lot of technology is published in books, scientific publications and journals. You can get access to both printed and electronic literature through our library.

If you want, you can use PRV's consultancy services, PRV InterPat. They can help you with patent monitoring or branch and competitor analysis. There are also private actors which offer similar services.

If you need further guidance on how to take advantage of the patent system as a source of information, please contact our customer service.
