MaxVal’s Patent Publication Alert (PubAlert) service

LOS ALTOS, Calif. - Oct. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- MaxVal provides a Patent Publication Alert (PubAlert) service to assist clients monitor relevant patents and applications in their field within days of their publication by a patent office. These publications are retrieved by searching patent databases using the client-provided relevance criteria including assignee and inventor names, technology or product feature descriptions. MaxVal’s team of analysts can optionally review and cull the search results to provide a concise and actionable report to the client. The alerts are provided at client-preferred intervals, typically once, twice or four times a month.

Custom Alert Management
The alert can either be emailed to the client or the results can be viewed using a web-app on MaxVal’s secure server configured with customizable data retention rules. Within MaxVal’s PubAlert web-app a client may Review, Save, Transfer (internally, to another reviewer), Watch or Delete a record. The Watch utility allows a particular record to be added to the client’s PAIR Alert account after which the client can track the prosecution status of that US, EP or PCT application. For more information or a demo of the PubAlert web-app or PAIR Alert service, please contact bd@maxval.com (mailto:info@maxval.com).
