Technology and patent watch

-70% technology watch time

Tracking patent filings, scientific publications and innovations relevant to the business requires sharp expertise. R&D teams spend their time on their projects first. Signals from the USPTO, EPO, INPI and WIPO, journals and conferences pile up faster than internal reading capacity.

Four patent databases, read continuously

The watch indexes filings with the USPTO, EPO, INPI and WIPO, scientific publications, conferences and specialist sector sources. The scope is set by technical field, keywords and players to follow.

Each signal is placed on a maturity scale inspired by TRLs, based on publications, known implementations and observed investment. R&D teams receive technology profiles and an innovation map, with watch time reduced by 70%.

Analysis covers English, French, German and Mandarin. Internal experts enrich the keywords and qualify the results. Going live takes four to six weeks.

A summary in 3 minutes

Strategic report summaries

Sector reports, economic notes and institutional publications arrive faster than they can be read. The time spent extracting their substance is taken from the decision they are meant to inform.

-90% curation time

Intelligence curation and distribution

Collecting, sorting and formatting monitoring content for the right people takes considerable time with every issue. The result swings between two pitfalls: mass distribution that nobody reads, or sends so infrequent that the information loses its value.

-80% monitoring time

Automated competitive intelligence

Monitoring competitors systematically, offers, hires, partnerships, patents, public statements, requires regular work by qualified people. Done by hand, monitoring becomes intermittent: it resumes at budget time or after a competitor's announcement, and so always after the fact.
