Assignee

Patent monitoring that alerts you when ownership changes

Patent monitoring with Assignee watches the USPTO assignment records for the patents you choose and emails you when a new assignment, security interest or release is recorded. You find out that a patent changed hands from the record, not from a letter months later.

This report shows what is recorded at the USPTO. Assignments that were never recorded do not appear in any public register. It is not legal advice.

What you can monitor

  • Single patents and applications
  • Your own portfolio, to confirm that recordings went through
  • Patents you license in, so you know when the licensor changes
  • A competitor's portfolio, by owner name
  • A target portfolio during a deal or a loan
  • Patents asserted against you or your clients

What an alert tells you

Each alert names the patent, the new document, its conveyance type, the parties, the execution and recording dates and the reel and frame. It links to the updated chain of title, so you can see at once whether the change closes a gap, opens a new one or adds a lien.

  • New assignment of the patent or application
  • New security interest
  • Release of a security interest
  • Merger or change of name affecting the owner
  • Correction of an earlier recorded document

Why ownership monitoring matters

  • A licensor that sells its patents can leave you negotiating with a new owner.
  • A competitor that buys patents in your field may be preparing to assert them.
  • A borrower that records a new lien on pledged patents changes your collateral.
  • A recording you asked for may never have been processed.

Monitoring turns each of these into an email as soon as the new document appears in the register.
