How to effectively monitor patents

Patent monitoring mainly monitors the term of patent and the annual fee of patent. In order to effectively monitor patents, a patent monitoring system should be established, which can provide real-time patent information of enterprises concerned by institutions. It mainly consists of three modules: monitoring reminder, patent inquiry and statistical analysis. Of course, individuals or related agents can also use patent management tools such as patent housekeeper to pay the annual patent fee reasonably.

legal ground

Article 26 of the patent law

The design granted the patent right does not belong to the existing design; Before the filing date, no unit or individual has filed an application with the patent administration department of the State Council for the same design, and it is recorded in the patent documents published after the filing date.

Compared with the existing design or the combination of existing design features, the patented design should have obvious differences.

A design that has been granted a patent right shall not conflict with the legal rights that others have obtained before the date of application.
