We are pleased to offer a new service to help researchers more easily track the latest developments in their technology, monitor competitor activity, or keep a watch for any patenting activity that may be important to them. Alerts are created in PatSearch FullText , using any of the available search criteria, including descriptive terms, company and inventor names, classifications, or any other of the available criteria. The alert can be based on a single query or on a combination of queries.
All saving is done on the History page .
This means that you have to execute the search before you can save it as an alert. You can use descriptive terms, classes, a list of competitors, or specific inventors-any available criteria except date of publication. Execute the Search. You may want to review the hit list to see if you need to refine the search. From the hit list screen, click the History button , which will take you to the History Screen.
