Why another monitoring tool? FIZ PatMon – Specific, Broad, and Flexible Sarah Stokes, Fiz-Karlsruhe 8:00 – 8:50 am click link

 ABSTRACT Would you like to monitor your patent portfolio or that of your competitors but fear the time-con- suming effort of manual checks? FIZ PatMon is the right tool for you to stay informed about new family members and changes to the legal status of patent applications while requiring minimal effort to set up the monitoring. Based on established, up-to-date INPADOC datasets upgraded with additions and standardizations from FIZ Karlsruhe – highly valued by STN users - , FIZ PatMon offers reliable worldwide surveillance of patent rights: • broad monitoring with all changes in a family or in the legal status • very specific monitoring on selected countries, legal status events or categories • links to Patent Office Registers and the Global Dossier  BIOGRAPHY Sarah Stokes is a chemist, an epidemiologist, and a librarian by training. She has worked with STN since 2004, as a librarian, a professional searcher, and an applications specialist and regional manag- er for the teams at CAS and FIZ Karlsruhe.
